UNSPSC 85782532: Alteration of right lower leg with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of right lower leg with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 0Y0H37Z

UNSPSC 85782532 Alteration of right lower leg with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical nomenclature and state and local procurement activity. The code's name describes a specific surgical procedure (autologous tissue grafting on the lower leg), but recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not request surgical interventions themselves. Instead, they seek medical evaluation, surveillance, and benefits administration services — independent medical examinations for disability determinations, occupational health monitoring, surgical carve-out benefit networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical care coordination. This disconnection suggests the code may have been applied in error or the issuing bodies are using it to capture broader medical-service procurement where no more specific code exists. The buying bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), and municipal employees' benefit plans (Long Beach). None of the solicitations describe actual surgical procedures or orthopedic interventions; the clinical specificity of the UNSPSC code does not align with what state and local governments are actually purchasing under it.

The recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the most concrete opportunities showing defined response dates. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026, covering 14 ferry system locations across the state. The City of Long Beach is seeking proposals for a surgical-benefit carve-out program (not surgical provision) for its Anthem PPO plan, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Collier County is managing a pharmacy benefit management RFP with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million. This code appears underutilized or misapplied for state and local surgical procedures; a business development professional should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for any actual surgical or procedural work, as the current code's activity does not reflect its nominal scope.
