UNSPSC 85702448: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lumbar vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic 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 endoscopic 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 0QP04KZ

UNSPSC 85702448 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lumbar vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedure taxonomy and the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. Recent solicitations classified under this code do not involve tissue removal or spinal procedures; instead, they center on health services administration, occupational medicine, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the code's stated scope of a specific lumbar vertebra surgical intervention.

The most recent opportunities carrying this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services (due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for pharmacy benefit management services, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026). These opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington and are issued by county and city procurement offices, state transportation agencies, and health systems. The code appears to be incorrectly assigned to health services management and administration categories rather than to surgical procedures; procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify whether recent opportunities are misclassified or whether the code itself is not in active use for its stated clinical purpose in state and local procurement.
