UNSPSC 85692827: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from thoracic vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from thoracic vertebra, 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 0PP44KZ

UNSPSC 85692827 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from thoracic vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code span disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of tissue substitutes or spinal procedures. The mismatch indicates either a systematic tagging error in the source data or use of this code as a catch-all for medical services without regard to the code's actual commodity scope.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida. Because the underlying opportunities do not align with the code's stated scope, this activity does not reflect genuine procurement demand under UNSPSC 85692827 as defined.
