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, 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 0VPM07Z

UNSPSC 85753104 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from epididymis and spermatic cord, open approach (Commodity) shows a material mismatch between its clinical-procedural code designation and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this code. Recent solicitations tagged with this code are procurement-and-administration services for medical benefit and health program management — specifically independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical-procedure carve-out networks, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the surgical removal of autologous tissue or epididymal/spermatic-cord procedures. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to health procurement opportunities that belong under benefits-administration, staffing, or third-party medical-services families rather than surgical-procedure taxonomy.

Activity under this code spans five states with no single dominant buyer: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) issued an RFP in September 2026 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations for public safety personnel, with a $750,000 maximum over five years and an October 16, 2026 response date; the City of Long Beach (California) posted an RFP for surgical-procedure carve-out benefits management on August 26, 2026, due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance on August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth in August 2026; and Collier County (Florida) and Santa Clara County (California) posted separate RFPs for pharmacy benefit management and temporary health professional staffing respectively. The issuing bodies are a mix of city retirement boards, county health systems and procurement offices, and state transportation agencies. Given the code-to-scope misalignment, opportunities in this taxonomy should be flagged for reclassification rather than pursued at face value.
