UNSPSC 85715555: Supplement thoracolumbar vertebral disc with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement thoracolumbar vertebral disc with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0RUB07Z

UNSPSC 85715555 Supplement thoracolumbar vertebral disc with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure involving vertebral disc supplementation with autologous tissue, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect healthcare administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary staffing services—none of which involve spinal implants or surgical procedures aligned with the code's ostensible meaning. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that the code is being applied outside its intended scope.

The six recent solicitations span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington and involve issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and county procurement divisions. No pattern of repeat activity emerges under this code's stated definition, and no opportunities directly solicit spinal surgical devices, implants, or related orthopedic supplies. The most recent postings—including the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix disability medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach surgical carve-out benefit program RFP (due October 7, 2026)—all represent healthcare service contracting rather than procurement of surgical materials or implants. Firms evaluating this code for business development should confirm the intended UNSPSC classification before committing resources to pursuit.
