UNSPSC 85782956: Alteration of left lower extremity with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left 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 0Y0B07Z

UNSPSC 85782956 Alteration of left lower extremity with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving tissue grafting to the lower leg, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the specific orthopedic procedure the code names. The issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county probation departments, and county benefits procurement offices, reflecting a fragmented mix of health-sector purchasers with no dominant repeat buyer across the recent opportunities. The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch rather than a coherent procurement category.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, Washington State, California, Florida, and Texas, with no geographic concentration. Representative recent postings include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-outs including knee, hip, spine, and oncology procedures (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool in temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no coherent market signal for business development purposes; vendors in surgical services, occupational health, medical staffing, or benefits administration should verify actual code assignment before treating this category as a reliable procurement signal.
