UNSPSC 85716236: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from cervicothoracic vertebral joint, 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 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 0RP437Z

UNSPSC 85716236, Removal of autologous tissue substitute from cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope; the recent opportunities tagged to this code do not align with surgical spine procedures or tissue removal. The posted solicitations are broadly for occupational health screening, pension disability evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention medical services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which match the code's stated focus on cervicothoracic spine surgery. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this code is rarely used in state and local procurement contexts for the specific procedure it describes.

The jurisdictions issuing opportunities tagged to this code span multiple states and sectors: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit record review and physician examination coordination, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's technical definition and what state and local bodies are actually buying under this tag, coverage of this code should be treated as a low-priority signal for spine surgery or tissue-based orthopedic procedure vendors.
