UNSPSC 85473330: Removal of synthetic substitute from spinal cord, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from 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 00PV4JZ

UNSPSC 85473330 Removal of synthetic substitute from spinal cord, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve spinal procedures or percutaneous endoscopic surgery; instead, they cover occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services, and specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in state and local procurement systems rather than a descriptor of actual buying activity.

The issuing bodies using this code span diverse public sector jurisdictions: state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal entities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (responses due October 9, 2026) covering ferry worker examinations across 14 locations, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (responses due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits managing Centers of Excellence for spine, orthopedic, and other specialties (responses due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (responses due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. This code shows little relevant procurement activity and warrants reassessment for proper UNSPSC classification by issuing offices; the mismatch between code definition and actual solicitations suggests that opportunities tagged here may be more accurately classified under codes addressing occupational health, benefits administration, or staffing services.
