UNSPSC 85716227: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from cervicothoracic vertebral disc, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from cervicothoracic 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 0RP53KZ

UNSPSC 85716227 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from cervicothoracic vertebral disc, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code's technical name describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which align with the specific spinal surgical procedure the code names. The mismatch suggests either systematic misclassification in source systems or that state and local procurement offices are not currently using this code to solicit work that actually falls within its intended scope.

No state and local contract opportunities in the source material reflect actual procurement activity for removal of nonautologous tissue substitutes from cervicothoracic vertebral discs or related spinal implant procedures. The five opportunities posted between July and September 2026 are distributed across Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office disability medical evaluations), California (Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out and Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing), Washington State (Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County juvenile detention medical services), but none solicit the surgical implant service the code describes. Entities pursuing work under this code should verify their classification against actual procurement activity before investing in pursuit strategy.
