This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from thoracic vertebral joint, 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 0RP607Z

UNSPSC 85715663, Removal of autologous tissue substitute from thoracic vertebral joint, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. Recent opportunities tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a specific surgical procedure. The mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding or that the code is being used as a placeholder for broad occupational health and medical services categories rather than the orthopedic procedure the code name describes.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), suggesting national dispersion among county health systems, city personnel offices, transit authorities, and county procurement divisions rather than concentrated state-level activity. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026, the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical carve-out benefits with an RFP due October 7, 2026 and anticipated contract execution by April 1, 2027, and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 and pre-bid on August 31, 2026. Given the pervasive miscoding, this code should be approached with caution — pursue only if your firm's actual scope aligns with what is being bought, not the code title itself.
