This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from right humeral shaft, percutaneous 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 0PPF37Z

UNSPSC 85693738 (Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right humeral shaft, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — removal of tissue graft material from the upper arm using percutaneous (needle-based) technique — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect no orthopedic or surgical procurement matching that scope. Instead, the opportunities cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention healthcare services. These are healthcare administration and staffing services, not tissue-removal procedures or surgical implant supply chains. The issuing bodies are diverse: municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits departments (City of Long Beach, Collier County Human Resources), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County Juvenile Probation), and multi-jurisdictional healthcare consortiums. None of the recent opportunities involve procurement of medical devices, orthopaedic supplies, or surgical tissue substitutes that would logically fall under this code's nominal description.

The geographic spread reflects activity in Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no geographic concentration pattern. The representative opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year maximum), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (due October 7, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management (due April 9, 2026, with historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually), and Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement — the UNSPSC categorization does not match the actual goods or services being bought.
