UNSPSC 85716038: Destruction of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0R540ZZ

UNSPSC 85716038 Destruction of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 that carry this code tag cover independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with surgical destruction of cervicothoracic vertebral joints or orthopedic surgical procedures. The code appears to have been applied to general medical and health services solicitations without regard to its narrow surgical scope.

State and local procurement bodies issue opportunities under broad health and human services codes far more frequently than under narrow surgical procedure codes; this mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or a code designation error. Without evidence of actual demand for cervicothoracic vertebral joint destruction services from state and local governments, the code presents no actionable signal for business development.
