UNSPSC 85763020 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from lower back, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the state and local contract opportunities actually posted under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the removal of autologous tissue from the lower back or any comparable orthopedic procedure. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by the posting agencies or a data-capture error in the source; the code shows no recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county benefits consortiums (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Without genuine opportunity activity under the code's intended scope, the value of tracking this code for procurement professionals is minimal; bidders should verify coding accuracy before pursuing any opportunity nominally tagged to this category, as the actual work being solicited diverges substantially from the code definition.
