UNSPSC 85716229: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from cervicothoracic vertebral disc, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from cervicothoracic 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 0RP537Z

UNSPSC 85716229 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from cervicothoracic vertebral disc, percutaneous approach (Commodity) does not match the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code. The recent contract opportunities posted under this UNSPSC code reflect administrative and occupational health services—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which relate to the orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code. State and local procurement offices appear to have misaligned their tagging; the code does not presently capture relevant procurement activity.

No state and local opportunities soliciting removal of autologous tissue substitutes or comparable spinal surgical services appear in the recent posting activity. The geographic and issuing-body mix captured under this code reflects health system and county-level administration (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Long Beach, Phoenix, and Washington State)—entities managing benefits and staffing rather than procuring specific surgical procedures. Until state and local procurement offices realign their categorization or solicitations for actual spinal orthopedic procedures emerge under this code, UNSPSC 85716229 carries minimal signal for vendors targeting procedure-specific state and local government work.
