This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from cervicothoracic 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 0RP507Z

UNSPSC 85715669 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from cervicothoracic vertebral disc, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure — removal of autologous tissue from cervical or thoracic vertebral discs via open surgical approach — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code in the source material do not align with that clinical description and instead span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefits carve-outs through Centers of Excellence networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations describe or reference cervicothoracic vertebral disc procedures or surgical tissue removal.

The mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the actual procurement activity suggests this code may be tagged incorrectly in state and local procurement systems, or the opportunities have been misclassified. The recent solicitations — posted by the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance, August 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, August 2026), County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing, July 2026), City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations, September 2026), City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-outs, August 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services, August 2026) — address health professional services, benefit administration, and provider networks rather than spinal surgery. This code does not show relevant recent activity for vendors focused on cervicothoracic vertebral disc procedures or orthopedic surgical supplies.
