This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from epididymis and spermatic cord, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0VPM77Z

UNSPSC 85752842, Removal of autologous tissue substitute from epididymis and spermatic cord via natural or artificial opening, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a surgical procedure on reproductive tissue, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it solicitate occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical Centers of Excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve removal of autologous tissue substitutes or procedures on the epididymis or spermatic cord. The mismatch indicates either a coding error in how opportunities were tagged or that the code captures a narrow procedural line that does not drive meaningful state and local procurement volume.

The recent opportunities themselves span diverse issuing bodies and geographies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP on September 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP on August 25, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, due October 9, 2026. The City of Long Beach (California) solicited surgical procedure Centers of Excellence management on August 26, 2026, due October 7, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System (California) opened a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing on July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026. These represent state health agencies, county health systems, and municipal retirement offices in Arizona, Washington, and California, but none substantively fit the code's stated scope. Given the disconnect between the code definition and the work actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant activity and should not guide pursue decisions based on the nominal procedure description.
