About UNSPSC 85716710

UNSPSC 85716710 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it consist entirely of administrative health services, occupational medicine programs, pharmacy benefit management, and staffing requests that bear no clinical relationship to the procedure itself.

The mismatch between code name and sourced opportunity content is substantial and systematic. The six recent opportunities—spanning Phoenix retirement medical evaluations (RFP, due October 16, 2026), Long Beach surgical benefits network management (RFP, due October 7, 2026), Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance (RFP, due October 9, 2026), Harris County juvenile detention medical services (RFI, due September 25, 2026), Collier County pharmacy benefit management (RFP, due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing (RFP, due October 7, 2026)—indicate that the code receives tagging activity from state health departments, county systems, and municipal and regional authorities purchasing health administration and occupational health services rather than surgical procedures. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the procedure it nominally describes; the opportunities appear to reflect miscoding rather than genuine procurement demand for autologous tissue substitute removal services under UNSPSC taxonomy.
