UNSPSC 85715654: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from thoracic vertebral disc, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from 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 0RP90KZ

UNSPSC 85715654 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from thoracic vertebral disc, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities available. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for spinal disc replacement, yet the six recent state and local solicitations posted between July and September 2026 involve occupational medical surveillance services, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefits, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve removal of tissue substitutes or thoracic vertebral disc procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in how opportunities were tagged to this code or that this Commodity code does not reflect actual state and local purchasing patterns in the medical services space.

The available opportunities instead reflect state and local demand for broader healthcare administration, provider networks, and clinical staffing rather than specific orthopedic surgical procedures. Issuing bodies include the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health), City of Phoenix (disability pension medical evaluations), City of Long Beach (surgical benefit networks), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty care for youth), Collier County (pharmacy management), and County of Santa Clara (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Without recent solicitations genuinely aligned to the code's stated scope, pursuit under this Commodity code is not advised.
