UNSPSC 85715579: Resection of cervicothoracic vertebral disc, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of cervicothoracic vertebral disc, 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 0RT50ZZ

UNSPSC 85715579 Resection of cervicothoracic vertebral disc, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services at a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve spinal surgery or orthopedic procedures. The code appears to be a misclassification in state and local procurement systems; opportunities under it reflect broader healthcare contracting across corrections, county benefits administration, employee health plans, and public health agencies rather than any vertebral surgical work.

State and local governments posting opportunities tagged to this code include corrections departments, county commissioners boards (Collier County, Monroe County, and others), county health and behavioral health divisions (San Mateo County), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica), suggesting a wide spread across governance types but with no concentration in any particular jurisdiction or service line. Recent solicitations span Georgia, Florida, and California. Because the code's nominal definition bears no relation to the actual work being procured under it at state and local level, this category presents no meaningful opportunity signal for vendors specializing in orthopedic or spinal surgery procurement.
