UNSPSC 85702245: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from sacrum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from sacrum, 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 0QP10KZ

UNSPSC 85702245 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from sacrum, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's scope—a surgical procedure involving removal of synthetic tissue material from the sacrum—does not match the actual work being solicited under this code designation in the state and local market. Recent opportunities tagged to this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These services span medical administration, managed care, and clinical staffing but do not address the orthopedic or spinal surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies include county and municipal health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach), and county benefits administrators (Collier County). Recent activity is geographically distributed across California, Washington, Arizona, Florida, and Texas, with no discernible concentration. The mismatch between code scope and actual solicitation content suggests this code has not been accurately applied to these opportunities, or that the code's scope in state and local procurement practice diverges significantly from its clinical definition.
