This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in spinal cord, 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 00WV0JZ

UNSPSC 85473143 Revision of synthetic substitute in spinal cord, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no activity aligned with spinal cord surgery or implantable device revision. The recent solicitations tagged under this code instead span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations for public safety pension systems, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks for government employees, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve spinal cord procedures or synthetic implant revision. This mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the source material or that the code is being applied to a broader class of health services procurement unrelated to its nominal clinical scope. State and local issuers posting under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement and pension offices (City of Phoenix), county commissioners (Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation), and municipal human resources divisions (City of Long Beach). No recent opportunities reflect the code's stated medical specialty.

The geographic spread is limited to a small number of states — Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Collier County), Washington (WSDOT), and Texas (Harris County) — across the few solicitations present. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting public safety pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFQ for temporary health professional staffing in 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity in its stated commodity domain; business development professionals should verify whether this code is correctly assigned to their target market or whether the tagging reflects a broader procurement classification system drift.
