UNSPSC 85715705: Release cervicothoracic vertebral disc, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release cervicothoracic 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 0RN50ZZ

UNSPSC 85715705 Release cervicothoracic vertebral disc, open approach is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on the spine, but the six recent opportunities posted under or near this classification span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve spinal disc release procedures. The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the actual work being tagged suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that this code is rarely used for state and local procurement at all.

State and local procurement under surgical procedure codes does not appear to track individual operative interventions; instead, the jurisdictions posting medical and health-benefit opportunities — including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — are acquiring contracted medical administration, staffing, network management, and occupational health services. No recent solicitation explicitly names cervicothoracic disc release, spine surgery network access, or related procedural bundles as a line item. If your firm pursues this code, verify the specific opportunity posting for actual scope before investing in proposal effort.
