UNSPSC 85472703: Destruction of spinal meninges, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of spinal meninges, 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 005T0ZZ

UNSPSC 85472703 Destruction of spinal meninges, open approach is a Commodity-tier medical procedure code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal description—a surgical intervention—does not align with the opportunities posted under this code in recent weeks. Among six state and local opportunities tagged to this code, none involve surgical destruction of spinal meninges or related surgical procedures. Instead, the tagged solicitations span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluation and disability record review (City of Phoenix retirement boards), surgical benefit carve-out management for city employees (City of Long Beach), specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara). The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this code does not reflect actual state and local procurement patterns for the procedure it nominally describes.

The recent opportunities show no solicitations for spinal meninges procedures, surgical consultations related to that intervention, or related surgical specialties that would reasonably map to this code's clinical scope. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris, Collier, Santa Clara), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a county health system, distributed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Until opportunities tagged to this code more closely reflect its surgical scope, the code does not present a meaningful market signal for business development targeting state and local procurement of spinal procedures or related surgical services.
