UNSPSC 85702333: Replacement of sacrum with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of sacrum with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0QR137Z

UNSPSC 85702333, Replacement of sacrum with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure (sacral reconstruction using autologous tissue via percutaneous approach), but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect orthopedic or spinal surgical services. Instead, the opportunities posted under 85702333 span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve sacral replacement procedures or tissue-substitute implantation. The mismatch indicates either a cataloging error in the source data or a systematic misalignment between the code's stated scope and how state and local procurement offices are applying it.

The recent opportunities under this code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems, with no repeat issuing body appearing more than once in the sample. Geographic activity includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414, originally due April 9, 2026). The code appears to be misapplied to health services procurement broadly rather than reserved for the specific orthopedic surgical procedure it nominally describes.
