UNSPSC 85716221: Removal of interbody fusion device from thoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of interbody fusion device from thoracic vertebral joint, 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 0RP63AZ

UNSPSC 85716221 Removal of interbody fusion device from thoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code solicit disability medical evaluation services, Centers of Excellence surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the removal or revision of orthopedic implants or spine surgery services. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in the issuing agencies' procurement systems or that this code is not actively used by state and local buyers for its intended commodity scope.

No state and local opportunities under this code match the surgical procedure described in its title. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify their internal classification protocols and monitor for future activity that aligns with spine implant removal or revision services, orthopedic device reprocessing, or related surgical supply categories that may be more accurately coded elsewhere in the UNSPSC taxonomy.
