UNSPSC 85692649: Destruction of thoracic vertebra, 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 0P540ZZ

UNSPSC 85692649 Destruction of thoracic vertebra, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities tagged under this code — inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services for a county workforce, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and a fire department medical director contract — bear no connection to surgical destruction of thoracic vertebra or spinal procedures of any kind. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to these health care and human services solicitations, which fall outside the surgical procedure classification that the code nominally describes.

State and local procurement offices do not currently issue RFPs or RFQs for thoracic vertebra destruction procedures under this code. If your firm pursues surgical services, orthopedic procedures, or hospital-based clinical services for state and local health plans or corrections systems, review the actual scope of work in those solicitations against the code assignment before assuming alignment with UNSPSC taxonomy.
