UNSPSC 85716136: Revision of autologous tissue substitute in cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of autologous tissue substitute in cervicothoracic vertebral joint, 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 0RW437Z

UNSPSC 85716136 Revision of autologous tissue substitute in cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local contracting activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on the spine using autologous tissue, but the recent opportunities tagged under it encompass independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty medical networks for government employees, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve autologous tissue revision or spinal joint procedures. This mismatch indicates either miscoding in the source records or a classification artifact; the code shows little relevant recent procurement activity grounded in its stated scope.

The six recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies—a city retirement office (Phoenix), a municipality (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county benefits consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara)—and geographic activity in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. None of the solicitations relate to spinal surgery, tissue substitutes, or the orthopedic procedure the code describes. Vendors evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for the services it nominally covers and investigate whether the code has been misapplied in the source data or whether state and local procurement in this surgical space operates under different classification entirely.
