UNSPSC 85762924: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lower back, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from 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 0WPL0KZ

UNSPSC 85762924 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lower back, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little alignment with that clinical scope. The most recent opportunities instead reflect procurement of occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical network management, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the specific orthopedic procedure named in the code. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of medical and health services contracts or that the code's application in state and local procurement databases does not track tightly to the procedure-specific terminology in the UNSPSC hierarchy.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county government (Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), city government (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and regional health systems. Recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative examples include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor-pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The fragmentation of clinical and administrative scope across these opportunities indicates that procurement offices are using this code inconsistently or that the code's definition does not map cleanly to how state and local entities actually structure health services contracting.
