UNSPSC 85704251: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left tibia, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left tibia, 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 0QPH4KZ

UNSPSC 85704251 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left tibia, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet state and local procurement activity under this code bears no relationship to that clinical description. Instead, the recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical procedure networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve tissue removal or orthopedic intervention. The issuing bodies include county health systems, retirement boards, state transportation departments, and county health consortiums, but the work being solicited is administrative, contractual health services delivery and staffing rather than the procedure itself.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for Washington State Ferries (due October 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive staffing pool vehicle for temporary health professionals (due October 7, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's carve-out surgical benefits program RFP (due October 7, 2026). The code appears to have been misapplied to these opportunities by the issuing procurement offices—the tag does not align with the actual work being bought, and this mismatch suggests the code itself is not actively pursued in state and local contracting.
