UNSPSC 85716103: Revision of autologous tissue substitute in thoracolumbar vertebral disc, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of autologous tissue substitute in thoracolumbar vertebral disc, percutaneous 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 0RWB37Z

UNSPSC 85716103, Revision of autologous tissue substitute in thoracolumbar vertebral disc, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving spinal disc replacement, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic or spine surgery work. Instead, the tagged solicitations span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve autologous tissue substitutes or thoracolumbar disc procedures. The source material indicates a systematic mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the work actually being solicited by state and local buyers under this designation.

The code shows no recent relevant activity for firms offering autologous tissue substitutes, spinal implants, or related orthopedic surgical products and services. The geographic distribution of posted opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), but none target the procedure named in the code. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as presently inactive for its stated scope and confirm with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification.
