This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement cervicothoracic 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 0RU507Z

UNSPSC 85715567 Supplement cervicothoracic vertebral disc with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose taxonomy name describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities indexed under this code show little activity aligned with that clinical scope. The six posted solicitations span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vertebral disc supplementation or orthopedic implant procurement. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal surgical-procedure scope and the healthcare-services and benefits-administration work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement, suggesting either miscoding or an artifact of how issuing bodies classify health plan and occupational health contracts in their procurement systems.

Recent activity is dispersed across multiple states and issuing bodies without concentration. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP due October 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach (California) posted an RFP due October 7, 2026 for surgical benefit carve-out services through Centers of Excellence serving approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ due October 9, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations statewide, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued a limited-scope RFI due September 25, 2026 for emergency and inpatient specialty medical services for detained youth. Collier County (Florida) posted an RFP due April 9, 2026 for pharmacy benefit management serving approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members. The County of Santa Clara Health System (California) posted an RFQ due October 7, 2026 for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professionals across 13 ancillary clinical categories on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis with no guaranteed work volumes.
