UNSPSC 85715422: Removal of infusion device from thoracic vertebral disc, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from thoracic vertebral disc, external 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 0RP9X3Z

UNSPSC 85715422 Removal of infusion device from thoracic vertebral disc, external approach is a Commodity code whose abstract name does not map to the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the removal of infusion devices from thoracic vertebral discs. The mismatch suggests a taxonomy classification error rather than active state and local procurement in the code's stated scope. State and local buyers are actively procuring medical and health services under related codes, but not the specific procedure named in this Commodity code.

The issuing bodies include city pension boards and retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health authorities (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county corrections and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), and county government HR divisions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Florida, Arizona, Washington, and Texas across the six opportunities, with no geographic clustering suggesting demand under UNSPSC 85715422 specifically. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the opportunities posted, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and monitor related health services codes instead.
