UNSPSC 85725271: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from lumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from lumbar vertebral 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 0SP037Z

UNSPSC 85725271 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from lumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment between its nominal medical procedure scope and the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of autologous tissue substitutes or any spinal surgical procedures. The code appears to have been misapplied to these opportunities by issuing procurement offices, or the tagging reflects administrative classification rather than the clinical work actually being purchased.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, cities, and special-purpose health systems: the Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include WSDOT's medical surveillance RFP (responses due October 9, 2026) for occupational examinations across 14 ferry locations, and the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation RFP (responses due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit application review and physician coordination at $750,000 maximum over five years. Given the persistent mismatch between the code designation and the work being solicited, this code carries minimal signal value for vendors targeting spinal tissue-substitute removal procurement at the state and local level.
