UNSPSC 85715689: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from cervical 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 cervical 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 0RP107Z

UNSPSC 85715689 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from cervical vertebral joint, open approach is a Commodity code that reflects a surgical procedure classification, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with the nominal medical procedure scope. The most recent opportunities posted under this code — spanning independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical carve-out benefits, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare — address administrative health plan management, occupational health compliance, and staffing rather than spinal fusion or autologous tissue removal procedures. The issuing bodies include county retirement systems (Phoenix), municipal employee benefits offices (Long Beach), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara), and county purchasing on behalf of healthcare coalitions (Collier County). This suggests the code is being applied broadly to health-related services procurement rather than to the specific surgical intervention its name describes.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix retirement boards), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara), Washington (state-level via WSDOT), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), reflecting dispersed municipal and county health plan administration rather than concentrated clinical demand. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately $8.7 million in annual historical pharmacy spending (proposals due April 9, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (proposals due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026). Because the code's nominal procedure scope does not match the administrative and occupational health services actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms focused on surgical procedure lines or tissue-based medical devices.
