UNSPSC 85702311: Revision of autologous tissue substitute in lumbar vertebra, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of autologous 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 0QW037Z

UNSPSC 85702311 Revision of autologous tissue substitute in lumbar vertebra, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a meaningful mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The recent posting activity—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs through Centers of Excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—spans healthcare administration, occupational health, and clinical staffing but does not reflect orthopedic spinal surgery or autologous tissue grafting procedures. The opportunities indicate that state and local governments use this code slot for a range of medical service procurement unrelated to the code's procedural description, suggesting either a cataloging error in the underlying jurisdiction systems or a drift in how the code has been applied in practice.

The recent activity involves diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No single buyer appears repeatedly. The City of Phoenix RFP (RTMRFP26001) closes October 16, 2026 and seeks independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753) closes October 7, 2026 for surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration covering orthopedic, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence; and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) closes October 9, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations. The code shows active state and local procurement interest, but the work being bought does not align with the code's stated scope.
