UNSPSC 85714771: Removal of internal fixation device from occipital-cervical joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from occipital-cervical joint, open 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 0RP004Z

UNSPSC 85714771 "Removal of internal fixation device from occipital-cervical joint, open approach" is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing (audiology, radiology, surgical services, therapy), independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with orthopedic or neurosurgical implant removal or surgical procedures on the cervical spine. The code's nominal scope describes a narrow clinical intervention, but the state and local opportunities tagged to it address healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit program management rather than implant extraction or surgical devices.

No state and local government solicitations for the actual procedure or related medical device removal services appear in the recent-opportunities dataset. The mismatch between the code's surgical nomenclature and the administrative or staffing work actually being solicited under it suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that UNSPSC 85714771 is not actively used by state or local procurement offices for relevant goods or services at present.
