UNSPSC 85716242, Removal of autologous tissue substitute from cervical vertebral disc, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific spinal surgical procedure—does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent opportunities posted under this code span disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve autologous tissue removal or vertebral procedures. This code shows little relevant recent activity matched to its stated clinical definition.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged to this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and multi-county cooperative consortia. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with no clear concentration. The apparent mismatch between the code's procedure-specific name and the diverse health administration and staffing services actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in these jurisdictions' procurement systems or a fundamental disconnect in how this Commodity code is applied. Verify local coding practices and sourcing strategy directly with target purchasing offices rather than relying on this code's nominal scope to guide opportunity identification.
