UNSPSC 85782918: Supplement right lower extremity with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right lower extremity 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 0YU907Z

UNSPSC 85782918 "Supplement right lower extremity with autologous tissue substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code that nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not align with that clinical scope. The five recent solicitations captured under the code cover inmate healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care and urgent care, peer mental health support for workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve limb supplementation or autologous tissue grafting. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the work its title names.

The mismatch between code and solicitation content suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or a fundamental disconnect between UNSPSC taxonomy application and actual healthcare procurement practice at the jurisdictional level. The issuing bodies (Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, San Mateo County Health, and Santa Monica Fire Department) are pursuing healthcare management, administration, and primary care contracts — not surgical tissue supplements. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for the procedure it nominally describes and instead monitor the broader healthcare services codes under which these jurisdictions are actually conducting procurement.
