UNSPSC 85723456: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right hip joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from right hip joint, open 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 0SP907Z

UNSPSC 85723456 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right hip joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The three opportunities posted under this code in the past ninety days—independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve health benefit administration, occupational medicine, and clinical staffing rather than orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue removal. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention at an anatomical site, whereas the actual solicitations being tagged with it span medical administration, occupational health compliance, and staffing procurement—categories that fall outside the procedure-specific definition.

The mismatch between the code's title and the work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a fundamental misapplication of this Commodity code to health services contracting. No state or local government appears to be soliciting the removal of autologous tissue from hip joints as a procurable service or product. The City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System are using this code to tag employee benefit services, medical staffing, and health program administration rather than surgical procedures. This code shows no relevant recent activity for vendors in orthopedic device removal, surgical services, or tissue engineering.
