UNSPSC 85716243: Removal of infusion device from cervical vertebral disc, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from cervical 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 0RP333Z

UNSPSC 85716243, "Removal of infusion device from cervical vertebral disc, percutaneous approach," is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with its nominal scope. The solicitations tracked under this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve cervical spine procedures or device removal. This mismatch suggests either a data classification error at the source or an institution using the code as a catch-all for healthcare service procurement rather than as a specific procedural taxonomy.

Given the absence of relevant opportunities directly matching the procedural scope, this code shows little decision-relevant recent activity for vendors offering cervical spine surgical services or related medical devices. State and local procurement activity in healthcare spans a wide range of administrative, staffing, and benefit-management categories, but the code itself does not appear to be actively used to solicit the specific surgical intervention it nominally describes.
