UNSPSC 85702911: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left tibia, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left tibia, 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 0QWHXKZ

UNSPSC 85702911 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left tibia, external approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational medical surveillance services, pension-board disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefits administration, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve tissue substitutes or orthopedic revision procedures. The code captures no active solicitations for the procedure it nominally describes; state and local governments appear to be using the code as a catchall miscategorization for diverse healthcare administration and clinical staffing services.

The geographic spread across recent opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no clustering or concentration in any single region. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor-pool RFSQ for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). Issuing bodies span state departments, counties, city retirement systems, and regional health authorities. This code shows little decision relevance for firms with expertise in orthopedic tissue substitutes or surgical device procurement.
