This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of thoracic vertebra with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0PR40KZ

UNSPSC 85692619 Replacement of thoracic vertebra with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work being solicited in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve thoracic vertebra replacement or surgical implants. This mismatch suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to the underlying solicitations or that the procurement taxonomy assignment in the source data is erroneous.

State and local governments posting opportunities under this code include a municipal pension board (City of Phoenix), a city health benefits program (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county health consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with no dominant geographic cluster. Because the code's nominal scope does not align with actual procurement activity in the source, the code shows little actionable relevance for vendors pursuing contracts related to the code's stated procedure.
