This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement thoracic vertebra with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0PU447Z

UNSPSC 85692811 Supplement thoracic vertebra with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract activity shows little relevance to that clinical scope. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve thoracic vertebra supplementation or orthopedic spinal procedures. The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the actual work being solicited suggests this code is either misapplied in state and local procurement systems or reflects a data-classification artifact that does not meaningfully guide vendor pursuit.

The issuing bodies in recent opportunities span county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County Juvenile Probation), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee health benefit procurement (City of Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity appears concentrated in the West and Southwest — Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington — with no single jurisdiction appearing as a repeat buyer. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope does not align with observed procurement activity, buyers should verify code assignment with individual issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this commodity number.
