UNSPSC 85721860: Revision of autologous tissue substitute in right tarsal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of autologous tissue substitute in right tarsal 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 0SWH37Z

UNSPSC 85721860 Revision of autologous tissue substitute in right tarsal joint, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure classification. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical carve-out benefits management, occupational medical surveillance, detention facility emergency and specialty care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve tissue engineering, orthopaedic joint reconstruction, or autologous graft procedures. The code appears to have been misapplied across a range of healthcare administration and staffing solicitations rather than reflecting actual procurement of the tissue substitutes or related surgical services the code nominally describes.

State and local healthcare entities issuing under this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employers (Long Beach, Collier County), state departments of transportation (Washington State Ferries), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with maximum compensation of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026. The code does not reflect genuine procurement activity in tissue substitutes or orthopaedic surgical procedures and warrants reclassification review.
