UNSPSC 85762902: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in lower back, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in lower back, 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 0WWL0KZ

UNSPSC 85762902 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in lower back, open approach (Commodity) shows a mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code designation suggests orthopedic surgical implant or tissue-graft replacement, but the posted opportunities under this code are administrative and clinical staffing services — occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical service procurement, and temporary health professional staffing — rather than tissue-substitute implantation or revision procedures. State and local healthcare procurement bodies issuing these solicitations include county human resources and retirement offices, state departments of transportation, health system authorities, and county detention agencies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington.

Recent opportunities under the code do not reflect tissue-substitute work. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is procuring independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determination; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeks occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers; the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is establishing a temporary health professional staffing pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories; and Collier County (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) is requesting pharmacy benefit management services. The coding tag applied to these solicitations does not align with the commodity's stated clinical function, indicating either a cataloging error in the source system or a mismatch in how state and local procurement offices have classified these opportunities. Pursuit under this code carries significant risk of scope misalignment and should be validated against each issuing body's actual procurement intent before bid preparation.
