UNSPSC 85715644: Removal of infusion device from thoracolumbar vertebral disc, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from thoracolumbar 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 0RPB03Z

UNSPSC 85715644 "Removal of infusion device from thoracolumbar vertebral disc, open approach" is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under the code's nominal clinical-procedure scope. The six most-recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code actually solicit occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-outs, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involve thoracolumbar spinal procedures or device removal. The code mismatch suggests that this Commodity-level classification is not capturing the actual procurement needs of state and local health systems and public agencies at present.

The geographic spread of these tangentially or unrelated opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Ferries Division), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with posting dates concentrated in August and September 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026) represent the most substantial recent solicitations, but none align with the code's stated scope. State and local procurement activity under this code does not support pursuit of device-removal or spinal-procedure work at this time.
