UNSPSC 85715565: Supplement cervicothoracic vertebral disc with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement cervicothoracic vertebral disc with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0RU50KZ

UNSPSC 85715565 Supplement cervicothoracic vertebral disc with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific spinal surgical procedure involving disc replacement—does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The six most-recent opportunities in the dataset span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out management for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve cervicothoracic vertebral disc implants or related spinal surgical supplies.

The geographic spread of the unrelated opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), reflecting general state and local procurement activity rather than demand specific to the code's clinical taxonomy. The mismatch between the UNSPSC category label and the actual work being procured under this code suggests either a classification error in the source data or that the code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for the spinal implant procedures its name describes. Business development professionals should verify whether this code reflects legitimate state and local demand for cervicothoracic disc implants before committing resources to pursue opportunities tagged with it.
