UNSPSC 85715676: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from cervicothoracic vertebral joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from cervicothoracic 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 0RP407Z

UNSPSC 85715676 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from cervicothoracic vertebral joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no aligned recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for removal of tissue grafts from the cervical-thoracic spine, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluation services for pension-board disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical networks for municipal employees, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations reflect procurement of the procedure itself or related clinical consumables, implants, or surgical services for vertebral joint treatment.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent tagged opportunities suggests either mis-coding at posting or that this Commodity code does not reflect current state and local buying patterns. The recent opportunities do reflect substantive public-sector healthcare contracting — notably the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical examination coordination (due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence networks (due October 7, 2026). However, none of these align with removal of autologous tissue grafts from cervicothoracic vertebral joints. Vendors evaluating this code should verify coding accuracy before pursuing opportunities tagged under it or investigate whether the code reflects procurement in healthcare administration and staffing rather than the surgical procedure the taxonomy nominally describes.
