This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer 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 0RP138Z

UNSPSC 85716248 Removal of spacer from cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal surgical scope. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting the specific procedure named in the code; instead, the recent opportunities tagged with this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure networks, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involve cervical spine implant removal. The mismatch between the code's surgical designation and the actual scope of recent procurement activity suggests this code is not a reliable signal for tracking state and local demand for spinal device removal services or related orthopedic implant procedures.

The six opportunities posted since August 2026 span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, state ferries division), county health systems and probation departments (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), and municipal retirement boards and human resources offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with geographic activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP for public safety disability determinations (due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit and Center of Excellence carve-out RFP for employee health plans (due October 7, 2026, targeting April 2027 go-live), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive temporary health professional staffing qualification pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). These opportunities reflect state and local reliance on third-party medical administration, network management, and temporary staffing rather than direct procurement of surgical procedures or implant-related services.
