UNSPSC 85702216: Supplement sacrum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement sacrum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open 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 0QU10KZ

UNSPSC 85702216 Supplement sacrum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedures, but recent state and local solicitations show little activity aligned with this medical device or surgical-technique taxonomy. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care network curation, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve sacral implantation or orthopedic device procurement. The code appears to function as a catch-all placeholder for diverse health-services contracting rather than a meaningful procurement signal for surgical implants or related materials. Issuers include county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County), city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), and municipal employee benefits programs (Long Beach), reflecting a fragmented mix of healthcare administration and occupational health demand across governance tiers.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for approximately 75 annual applications at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award pool). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests the code assignment reflects administrative or legacy taxonomy use rather than genuine sacral-implant procurement activity. State and local buyers pursuing this code should verify the actual commodity or service need with the issuing body before bid preparation.
