UNSPSC 85716208 Removal of interbody fusion device from thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal surgical-procedure scope and actual state and local procurement activity under the code. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve spinal fusion device removal or orthopedic implant services; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. The issuing bodies are diverse — state departments of transportation, county health systems, county commissioners' offices, city retirement boards, and county juvenile probation departments — suggesting the code has been applied inconsistently or the source data reflects misclassification at the point of posting rather than genuine procurement of spinal surgery device removal services.

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (response due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (response due October 7, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System's request for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (response due October 7, 2026); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (response due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (response due September 25, 2026). Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington State, with no identifiable repeat buyers or coherent procurement pattern tied to the code's stated substance. The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing orthopedic implant device removal contracts.
