This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from cervicothoracic vertebral joint, 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 0RP40KZ

UNSPSC 85715672, Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from cervicothoracic vertebral joint, open approach (Commodity), shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six most-recent opportunities tagged to this code across state and local jurisdictions—from Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County—solicit disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve removal of tissue substitutes from cervicothoracic vertebral joints or any orthopedic surgical procedure. The code appears to have been applied as a miscellaneous health services catchall rather than a targeted orthopedic surgery classification, rendering the nominal UNSPSC descriptor functionally irrelevant to the actual buying activity.

The recent opportunities do reveal fragmented state and local health services procurement across multiple issuing bodies—county departments, municipal retirement offices, transit authorities, and county health systems—but none of this activity maps to the code's stated surgical scope. Without genuine recent opportunities under the code as described, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for orthopedic surgery contracting and verify actual procurement needs against posting-level solicitation language rather than UNSPSC taxonomy alone.
