UNSPSC 85715614: Replacement of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of thoracolumbar vertebral joint 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 0RRA07Z

UNSPSC 85715614 Replacement of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The nominal scope—a specific spinal surgical procedure—does not align with the recent solicitations tagged to this code. Instead, the opportunities posted under 85715614 span occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either cataloging drift or a data classification issue within state and local procurement systems. State and local governments do purchase occupational health examinations, disability medical evaluations, and employee health benefits administration, but these services fall outside the surgical procedure named in the code.

Recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services for pension benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program offering Centers of Excellence for orthopedic and specialty procedures (due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's solicitation for a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool (due October 7, 2026). Activity is dispersed across Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with no dominant issuer. Until the code is corrected in state and local procurement systems or the tagged opportunities are reclassified, the code is not a reliable signal for procurement pursuit.
