This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of interbody fusion device from cervical 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 0RP10AZ

UNSPSC 85715687 Removal of interbody fusion device from cervical vertebral joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it cover occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of interbody fusion devices or cervical spine surgery. The underlying data reflects a classification error rather than authentic procurement demand under this code's stated medical procedure.

State and local governments show no recent solicitation activity for the specific surgical intervention named in the code. The opportunities tagged to this UNSPSC instead represent broad healthcare administration and staffing procurement across state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), counties (Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems. Representatives include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach soliciting surgical benefit carve-out administration (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation seeking occupational medical surveillance (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code should be deprioritized for business development purposes; vendors in medical device removal, orthopedic surgery, or surgical implant management would not benefit from tracking opportunities under this classification.
