This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from cervical 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 0RP137Z

UNSPSC 85716249 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure code from medical billing taxonomy—does not correspond to the services state and local governments are soliciting under this designation. Recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical care-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare—none of which involve the removal of autologous tissue substitutes from cervical joints or any comparable orthopedic surgical procedure line. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the tagging system or misapplication of the code to administrative and clinical support services that fall outside its intended scope.

Issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county human resources and benefits offices (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee health programs (City of Long Beach), county juvenile detention (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and other local health administration functions. Geographic spread includes California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001); and the Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052). The code exhibits little relevant procurement activity and warrants verification against the correct UNSPSC hierarchy for medical services administration and occupational health support.
