UNSPSC 85702234: Replacement of sacrum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of sacrum with autologous 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 0QR107Z

UNSPSC 85702234 Replacement of sacrum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving sacral replacement with autologous tissue, but recent solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical services or tissue-based medical devices. Instead, the available opportunities address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve sacral implantation or autologous tissue substitutes. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this code is being used as a placeholder where more precise commodity codes do not exist in state and local procurement systems.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. Issuing bodies span city retirement offices, municipal health benefits programs, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, and county health systems. Given the substantial misalignment between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited, vendors pursuing medical device, orthopedic implant, or tissue-substitute supply opportunities should not rely on this code for market intelligence and should instead search more precise commodity classifications tied to orthopedic implants, surgical supplies, or biomaterial products.
