UNSPSC 85692729 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from thoracic vertebra, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code showing limited relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving tissue removal from the spine, but the recent solicitations posted under this code do not procure surgical procedures in that specialty. Instead, state and local bodies have used this code to tag requests for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determination, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks and bundled payment models, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the tissue removal procedure the code names. The mismatch suggests either miscoding or a state-local taxonomy alignment issue; the code itself does not appear to capture what jurisdictions are actually buying in these opportunities.

Recent activity spans several states and issuing bodies. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington locations, due October 9, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026. The City of Long Beach issued HR26753 for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program, due October 7, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued RFI 071626BNM seeking hospital entities and specialty medical providers for emergency and inpatient services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members, historically spending $8.7 million annually, with a proposal deadline of April 9, 2026 and an initial three-year contract term effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028.
