This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of infusion device in cervicothoracic vertebral disc, open approach.

UNSPSC 85715530 Revision of infusion device in cervicothoracic vertebral disc, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure on the spine; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve device implantation, revision procedures, or surgical intervention on vertebral discs. The issuing bodies span multiple sectors: city retirement offices (Phoenix), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal health systems (Long Beach). The disconnect between the code's technical name and the work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that this code functions as a catch-all for diverse medical service procurements within certain jurisdictions.

The recent opportunities show geographic spread across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration in any single state. Representative recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, total contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at Washington State Ferries facilities across 14 locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026), and the Collier County Board of Commissioners' RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually, initial three-year term starting January 1, 2026). Given the code's mismatch with the substantive scope of recent solicitations, firms targeting this code should verify correct categorization with procurement offices before pursuit.
