UNSPSC 85715514: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in thoracic vertebral disc, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in thoracic vertebral disc, open 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 0RW90KZ

UNSPSC 85715514 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in thoracic vertebral disc, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — surgical revision of spinal implants — does not match the medical and health services being solicited by state and local bodies under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code center instead on occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve spinal implant procedures or tissue substitutes. The issuing bodies span state departments, county governments, and municipal health systems across multiple jurisdictions and service lines, but the mismatch between the code's clinical scope and actual procurement activity renders the code unsuitable for business development targeting spinal implant or orthopedic surgical supply vendors.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), but this geographic diversity does not offset the fundamental disconnect between the code's definition and what is being bought. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414). None of these align with the orthopedic surgical or implant supply work the code describes. Vendors in spinal or orthopedic implant markets should verify code assignment with each issuing body before pursuing opportunities listed under this classification.
