This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter 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 0PC33ZZ

UNSPSC 85692740 Extirpation of matter from cervical vertebra, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure (percutaneous removal of disc material from the cervical spine), but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which align with the code's stated surgical scope. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the jurisdiction procurement systems or that this code has been repurposed to capture broader health services procurement where the actual work does not involve cervical spine procedures.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a special health system (Santa Clara County Health System). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (a $750,000 five-year contract for disability benefit assessments), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical specialties due October 7, 2026. Vendors pursuing work under this code should verify actual scope alignment before bid investment, as the code taxonomy and current solicitation activity show substantial divergence.
