UNSPSC 85771115: Supplement left upper arm with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left upper arm 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 0XU907Z

UNSPSC 85771115 Supplement left upper arm with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—autologous tissue grafting to the upper arm—but the recent solicitations tagged under it concern occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs for employee health plans, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve upper-arm surgical tissue supplementation or relate to the orthopedic procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging system or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC classification and the actual scope of work state and local governments are buying under this code number.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span state departments, county health systems, city retirement offices, and county juvenile justice agencies—a broad cross-section of state and local government. Geographic activity includes Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation). Because the code's recent solicitation record does not align with its nominal scope, the activity reflects administrative and service procurement rather than surgical procedure provision, and should not be relied upon to predict future demand for autologous tissue supplementation contracting under this code.
