This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from lumbosacral disc, 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 0SP437Z

UNSPSC 85725251 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from lumbosacral disc, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for spinal disc repair; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical procurement of that scope. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which match the discrete surgical procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied to these opportunities by the issuing bodies or the procurement system has tagged them incorrectly.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Due dates for active opportunities range from September 25 to October 16, 2026, with the Phoenix Retirement Office soliciting independent medical evaluation services (RFP due October 16), Long Beach requesting a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for health plans (RFP due October 7), and Washington State seeking occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP due October 9). Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, this code warrants investigation before pursuit—confirm with the issuing body whether the code assignment is intentional or a data-entry error before allocating business development resources.
