This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring device from spinal cord, 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 00PV32Z

UNSPSC 85473227 Removal of monitoring device from spinal cord, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical taxonomy label and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance services, pension disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve the surgical removal of spinal cord monitoring devices. The mismatch appears systemic: issuing bodies include county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health consortia, and county probation departments, but none are soliciting the narrow surgical procedure the code nominally describes. This code shows little relevant recent procurement activity for the surgical service its name indicates.

Geographic spread across recent postings reflects activity in Washington State (Washington Department of Transportation occupational surveillance), Arizona (City of Phoenix retirement disability evaluations), California (Santa Clara County health staffing and Long Beach municipal benefits), Texas (Harris County youth detention services), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy management), though the activity is fragmented across unrelated healthcare service lines rather than concentrated in any particular state or service category. The absence of solicitations aligned with the code's nominal scope—removal of spinal cord monitoring devices—suggests that either the code is infrequently used for state and local procurement, or opportunities are systematically miscoded at submission.
