UNSPSC 85716250: Removal of internal fixation device from cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device 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 0RP134Z

UNSPSC 85716250 Removal of internal fixation device from cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code describe independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve orthopedic spine surgery, cervical vertebral procedures, or device removal. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure performed in an inpatient or ambulatory surgical setting, whereas the tagged opportunities reflect healthcare administration, benefits management, occupational health screening, and staffing contracting that fall outside surgical procedure procurement. State and local governments do not typically solicit surgical procedures by UNSPSC commodity code; they contract for health services capacity, staffing, benefits administration, and clinical surveillance at the service-family or class level.

The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure name and the administrative and staffing services actually posted suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this particular code does not see active procurement use in state and local markets. Business development professionals should verify that opportunities claimed under this code genuinely require cervical spine surgery procurement before committing resources to pursuit. If actual surgical procedure procurement is occurring, it is likely tagged under higher-level healthcare services codes rather than this specific commodity classification.
