UNSPSC 85763126: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from lower back, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from lower back, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0WPL47Z

UNSPSC 85763126 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from lower back, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it comprise independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance services, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve spinal tissue removal or orthopedic surgical procedures. The mismatch reflects either miscoding by issuing bodies or an artifact of how state and local procurement systems classify healthcare services; the code itself does not meaningfully describe what is actually being purchased under current state and local opportunities.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies—municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach, City of Santa Clara), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county commissioners' offices (Collier County)—and geographic locations including Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Given the absence of alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity, this code presents minimal value as a targeting vehicle for business development focused on surgical procedure services or orthopedic care delivery.
