UNSPSC 85716142: Revision of autologous tissue substitute in cervical 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 cervical 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 0RW337Z

UNSPSC 85716142 Revision of autologous tissue substitute in cervical vertebral disc, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears to have little relevance to the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The posted opportunities span occupational medical surveillance for Washington State Ferries, independent medical evaluation services for pension board disability determinations in Phoenix, surgical benefit network management for the City of Long Beach, pharmacy benefit management for Collier County, emergency and specialty medical services for Harris County's juvenile detention system, and temporary health professional staffing pools for the County of Santa Clara Health System. None of these solicitations involve autologous tissue substitutes, cervical vertebral procedures, or percutaneous spinal interventions. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the opportunities or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and how state and local procurement offices are applying the code in practice.

State and local governments do not appear to be procuring services or products under this code in any meaningful way based on recent opportunity data. The opportunities posted under the code address employee health benefits management, occupational health screening, medical staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which align with spinal surgery implants or tissue substitutes. Bid evaluation, if pursuing work in this space, should focus on the medical services categories where actual current demand is documented: occupational health surveillance (Washington State Ferries RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026), pension disability medical evaluations (City of Phoenix RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and temporary clinical staffing (County of Santa Clara RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026).
