UNSPSC 85716246: Removal of synthetic substitute from cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from cervical 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 0RP13JZ

UNSPSC 85716246 Removal of synthetic substitute from cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on the spine, but state and local procurement offices do not solicit individual surgical procedures directly. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code span medical administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and detention-facility emergency medical services — none of which involve cervical spine surgery or device removal. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the underlying opportunity records or a category misapplication that does not reflect actual procurement under the code. No state or local government solicitation in the source material is actually seeking removal of synthetic cervical vertebral-joint substitutes.

Because the code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its nominal scope, there are no issuing bodies, geographic patterns, or representative opportunities to characterize under it. Vendors pursuing state and local procurement in orthopedic or spine-surgery device space should expect opportunities to surface under different codes — likely in family-level categories related to medical devices, hospital supplies, or surgical equipment — rather than under this commodity classification. Monitoring this code for future activity is not warranted without evidence of correction in the underlying taxonomy or opportunity tagging.
