UNSPSC 85702336: Replacement of lumbar vertebra with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of lumbar vertebra 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 0QR037Z

UNSPSC 85702336 "Replacement of lumbar vertebra with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with orthopedic surgical services. Instead, the tagged opportunities reflect healthcare administration and occupational medical services — disability benefit evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a discrete lumbar spine procedure) and the actual work being solicited suggests either data-entry misclassification by the issuing bodies or that this code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local markets for the procedure it nominally names.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include a municipal retirement office (Phoenix), a large California city (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation authority (Harris County), a county health consortium (Collier County), and a regional health system (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year contract value and an October 16, 2026 deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with a two-year initial term and pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories with an October 7, 2026 deadline. Given the procedural mismatch, vendors should verify code assignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under this Commodity.
