UNSPSC 85702908: Revision of autologous tissue substitute in right fibula, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of autologous tissue substitute in right fibula, external 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 0QWJX7Z

UNSPSC 85702908 Revision of autologous tissue substitute in right fibula, external approach, Commodity, bears a medical-procedure code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities recently posted under it. The recent solicitations tag activities under this code that are fundamentally administrative, occupational health, and benefit-management services rather than orthopedic tissue revision procedures. State and local governments are soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, occupational medical surveillance for transit workers, pharmacy benefit management administration, surgical carve-out benefit programs for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing pools for ancillary clinical roles, and emergency medical services coordination for detained youth. None of these activities involve autologous tissue grafting or fibular reconstruction. The issuing bodies span municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), and county commissioners' offices (Collier County). The geographic spread includes Arizona, Washington State, California, Texas, and Florida.

The code shows no recent procurement activity for the orthopedic procedure its name describes. The mismatch between the UNSPSC commodity designation and the work actually tagged under it suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems or that the code has been repurposed to capture health-services contracting more broadly. For firms pursuing orthopedic tissue-substitute or fibular-revision opportunities at state and local governments, this code does not represent an active procurement area; the recent opportunities visible here—disability medical evaluation (City of Phoenix RFP, due October 16, 2026), occupational health surveillance (WSDOT RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026), and temporary clinical staffing pools (Santa Clara County RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—fall outside traditional implant or surgical-supply procurement and warrant separate category review.
