UNSPSC 85692728 Removal of synthetic substitute from thoracic vertebra, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this code reflect healthcare administration, occupational medicine, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — work that bears no meaningful connection to the surgical procedure named in the code's definition.

The mismatch between code title and actual procurement activity suggests this code is either misapplied to healthcare services solicitations or reflects a data-classification artifact in the source system. No state or local agency has recently solicited removal of synthetic thoracic vertebra substitutes or related orthopedic surgical devices or services under this code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) requested a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) sought occupational medical surveillance; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026) requested emergency and specialty medical services for youth; Collier County (RFP 25-8414) procured pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara County Health System (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing. None of these opportunities align with the code's stated procedure scope, indicating no actionable procurement signal under this code for orthopedic or spinal device and services vendors.
