This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in lower back, external 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 0WWLXKZ

UNSPSC 85762802 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in lower back, external approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect surgical tissue-revision work. Instead, the code shows activity centered on occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of orthopedic tissue procedures. The issuing bodies include state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and cities (City of Long Beach). These are primarily health administration and workforce health functions rather than surgical procedures performed on patients in clinical settings.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001); the City of Long Beach sought surgical center-of-excellence carve-out services for city employees with proposals due October 7, 2026 (HR26753); and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052). The code's mismatch with actual solicitation activity suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code has been repurposed in state and local procurement systems to cover administrative health services rather than surgical procedures. Vendors in occupational medicine, medical record management, benefits administration, and health staffing recruitment should flag this code with caution.
