UNSPSC 85473316: Extirpation of matter from cervical spinal cord, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from cervical spinal cord, percutaneous endoscopic 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 00CW4ZZ

UNSPSC 85473316 Extirpation of matter from cervical spinal cord, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical-procedure scope. State and local procurement officers have tagged six recent opportunities with this code, but none involve cervical spinal cord procedures or percutaneous endoscopic interventions. The actual work being solicited includes independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, temporary health professional staffing pools, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the breadth of health-service and benefits-administration work being procured suggests systematic miscoding rather than genuine demand for the procedure named in the code.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, county commissioners' procurement divisions, and state transportation departments. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System; the contract value ceiling is $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, solicited occupational medical surveillance services (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) with examinations across 14 ferry locations statewide. The City of Long Beach solicited surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for its PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) with go-live targeted for April 1, 2027. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued a pharmacy benefit management RFP (RFP 25-8414, deadline April 9, 2026) covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code, as the actual procurement activity does not match the cervical spine procedure scope.
