UNSPSC 85692840: Extirpation of matter from cervical vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter 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 0PC34ZZ

UNSPSC 85692840 Extirpation of matter from cervical vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure taxonomy and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve cervical spine procedures or percutaneous endoscopic interventions; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch reflects a known artifact of state and local procurement classification systems, where health care procurement officers sometimes apply procedure-specific UNSPSC codes to broader healthcare service categories. No recent solicitations under this code actually solicit neurosurgical or spinal intervention services.

The issuing bodies span state transportation departments, county procurement offices on behalf of health systems and employee benefits programs, and municipal retirement offices, with no issuing body appearing more than once. Geographic activity includes Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) are the only solicitations with substantial scope detail and defined response dates; both are health screening and administrative evaluation services rather than acute surgical intervention. No bidding traction or demonstrated procurement intent under this code for cervical spine procedures exists in the recent record.
