UNSPSC 85702309: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in lumbar vertebra, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in lumbar vertebra, 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 0QW03KZ

UNSPSC 85702309 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in lumbar vertebra, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal scope. Instead of procurement of tissue substitutes or surgical procedures, the opportunities cluster around healthcare administrative and staffing services: disability medical evaluation coordination, surgical benefit carve-out networks, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the point of posting or a data-tagging error; the opportunities do not represent purchases of the spinal implant or procedural service the code name describes.

The issuing bodies span county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris, Collier), municipal retirement offices (Phoenix), transit authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), and cities (Long Beach). Recent postings show activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with response dates concentrated in September and October 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year term); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Puget Sound ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, cost-based scoring); and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code taxonomy and the actual work being bought, this code presents minimal relevance for vendors supplying spinal tissue substitutes or related orthopedic surgical products.
