UNSPSC 85716230: Removal of infusion device from cervicothoracic vertebral disc, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device 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 0RP533Z

UNSPSC 85716230 Removal of infusion device from cervicothoracic vertebral disc, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little alignment between its nominal clinical scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve vertebral procedures or infusion device removal. The mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities at the point of posting or a disconnect between how this clinical procedure code is being applied by state and local procurement offices and the specificity intended by the UNSPSC taxonomy.

Activity appears scattered across different jurisdictions and issuing body types. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees; the City of Long Beach sought proposals for surgical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026. No geographic concentration emerges from these postings, and the code does not reflect a coherent procurement category in current state and local use.
