UNSPSC 85692731: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from cervical vertebra, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from cervical vertebra, percutaneous 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 0PP33KZ

UNSPSC 85692731 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from cervical vertebra, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not match the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to it. The recent opportunities assigned to this code—independent medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, surgery benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are administrative and operational healthcare services unrelated to surgical removal of cervical implants. The code appears to describe a specific surgical procedure rather than a procurement category, creating a fundamental misalignment between the taxonomy classification and the work state and local governments are actually buying under this tag.

No recent state and local solicitations for the surgical procedure named in the code itself have been posted. Until the code's tagging is corrected or realigned with actual cervical spine implant removal services procurement, the code does not represent a viable business development target for firms pursuing state and local contracts. The opportunities currently listed reflect healthcare administrative and staffing services across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), none of which involves the medical device or implant removal services the code nominally describes.
