UNSPSC 85723850: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right hip joint, percutaneous 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, 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 0SP937Z

UNSPSC 85723850 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right hip joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted across state and local jurisdictions do not solicit this service. Instead, the code has been misapplied to opportunities spanning independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the removal of autologous tissue from a hip joint. This mismatch indicates either data classification error at the source or use of a catch-all UNSPSC tag by procurement offices unfamiliar with the taxonomy's orthopedic-procedure specificity.

State and local buyers posting under this code do not appear to be soliciting the discrete procedure the code names. Prospective vendors should verify UNSPSC alignment when evaluating opportunities tagged to this code, as the recent record provides no signal that state and local governments are purchasing orthopedic surgical procedures through formal competitive procurement channels at present.
