UNSPSC 85762958: Alteration of lower back with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of lower back with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0W0L07Z

UNSPSC 85762958 Alteration of lower back with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity-level code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal surgical procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, independent disability medical evaluation, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve autologous tissue alteration of the lower back or spinal surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county boards of commissioners, and county juvenile probation departments, reflecting a scattered mix of municipal, state, and county health administration entities rather than concentrated medical provider procurement.

The geographic distribution of recent postings spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (ferries system), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no clear concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026) focused on disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (response due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026). The code appears to be misapplied to administrative health services and occupational medicine rather than the specific surgical procedure its name describes.
