UNSPSC 85702348: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lumbar vertebra, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from 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 0QP03KZ

UNSPSC 85702348 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lumbar vertebra, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent disability medical evaluations (City of Phoenix), Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty care for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations involves the removal of tissue substitutes from the spine or any procedure-specific orthopedic implant or material management. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification that state and local procurement systems have misapplied to broader healthcare administration and staffing services, suggesting either tagging error or a mismatch between UNSPSC clinical taxonomy and how some jurisdictions categorize healthcare purchasing.

No state or local government opportunity in the source material actually solicits implant removal, surgical device procurement, or spine-procedure-specific medical supplies under this code. The activity tagged to the code spans workforce management, benefits administration, and third-party healthcare coordination across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington — geographies and service lines orthogonal to the code's nominal scope. A firm pursuing orthopedic implant, spine-surgery material, or tissue-substitute removal services should verify code assignment in any RFP referencing 85702348 before investing proposal effort, as the recent record does not support ongoing state and local buying in this category.
