UNSPSC 85716217: Removal of infusion device from thoracic vertebral disc, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from thoracic vertebral disc, percutaneous 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 0RP933Z

UNSPSC 85716217 Removal of infusion device from thoracic vertebral disc, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The source material contains six opportunities spanning occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve removal of thoracic vertebral infusion devices or spinal procedures. The mismatch suggests either classification error in the posting systems or that this code sees little relevant state and local procurement activity.

The recent opportunities that appear under this code originate from a mixed set of issuing bodies: county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), and city-level entities (Phoenix, Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with no concentration in any single region. Representative solicitations include Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) seeking baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry locations under supervision of an occupational medicine physician; Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations; and Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, imaging, and surgical services (due October 7, 2026). None of these opportunities involves the spinal procedure named in the code title, indicating that either the UNSPSC classification does not reflect actual purchasing practice in state and local health service procurement or that this particular code sits unused in current activity.
