UNSPSC 85702346: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from sacrum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from sacrum, 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 0QP137Z

UNSPSC 85702346 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from sacrum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a surgical procedure—does not align with recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for this specific surgical service or related orthopedic or spine procedures. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve the removal of autologous tissue from the sacrum or percutaneous surgical approaches. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its medical procedure name and the administrative and occupational health services state and local procurement offices are actually buying under it.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span a geographic range including Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation). The opportunities represent a mix of municipal, county, and state agencies with no dominant buyer pattern. Given the absence of recent solicitations for the surgical procedure the code nominally describes, and the presence only of unrelated healthcare administration and staffing services, this code presents minimal relevance for vendors offering autologous tissue removal or spine surgery services. State and local procurement offices appear to be applying the code inconsistently or incorrectly to non-surgical healthcare contracting.
