UNSPSC 85692831: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from cervical vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic 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 endoscopic 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 0PP34KZ

UNSPSC 85692831 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from cervical vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—removal of a non-biological tissue implant from the neck spine using minimally invasive endoscopic technique—but recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a systematic mismatch with that clinical scope. The six recent opportunities in the source solicitation set cover occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Ferries), disability benefit medical record review and independent medical examinations (City of Phoenix), surgical carve-out benefit program administration (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary clinical staffing placement (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these activities involve the removal of cervical vertebral implants or spine surgery. The code shows no evidence of current state and local procurement for the procedure it nominally describes.

The geographic spread across the recent opportunities spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with issuing bodies including state departments, county health systems, counties, and municipalities. The activity pattern suggests that either this code was incorrectly assigned by state and local procurement offices to medical and health administrative services that fall under broader UNSPSC families, or the code itself is rarely or never used for its stated surgical procedure in state and local contracting. No representative recent opportunities exist for actual cervical vertebral implant removal services.
