UNSPSC 85715645: Removal of drainage device from thoracolumbar vertebral disc, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage 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 0RPB00Z

UNSPSC 85715645 Removal of drainage device from thoracolumbar vertebral disc, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The six opportunities in the source—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgery benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—cover administrative healthcare contracting, occupational health programs, and clinical staffing but contain no solicitations for spinal surgical procedures or thoracolumbar vertebral interventions. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error at the posting stage or that this code is not actively used for state and local procurement in recent cycles.

No representative opportunities exist for work actually matching the code's nominal scope. The geographic spread of the six misfiled 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), but none address spinal device removal. Practitioners pursuing spinal surgery or orthopedic device procurement should verify the correct UNSPSC assignment with the issuing body before submitting qualifications or pricing.
