UNSPSC 85715662 Removal of spacer from thoracic vertebral joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local contract activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 in the recent solicitations block—covering independent medical evaluation services for pension boards, surgery benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are unrelated to spinal implant removal procedures and do not represent actual procurement under this code.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific orthopedic surgical procedure) and the opportunities tagged to it suggests the code receives minimal or misdirected attention in state and local procurement. State and local buyers rarely solicit discrete surgical procedures as line-item commodities; they more commonly contract for hospital services, physician networks, or managed care programs that encompass a range of procedures. No data is available on geographic concentration, repeat issuing bodies, or representative opportunities genuinely aligned with thoracic vertebral implant removal.
