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, 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 0VPM37Z

UNSPSC 85753232 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from epididymis and spermatic cord, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not correspond meaningfully to the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged with this code—independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance, specialty emergency care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve general medical administration, benefits consulting, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing coordination. None of these solicitations involve removal of autologous tissue from the epididymis or spermatic cord. This represents a significant mismatch between the UNSPSC code definition and the actual work being bought.

The issuing bodies are diverse: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope; the tagged opportunities appear to reflect state and local procurement systems tagging errors rather than substantive demand for the surgical procedure named in the code.
