UNSPSC 85716259: Release cervical vertebral disc, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0RN33ZZ

UNSPSC 85716259 Release cervical vertebral disc, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific neurosurgical procedure—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 encompass independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve cervical vertebral disc release or other surgical procedures themselves. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch suggests either a cataloging error or that the code has been applied to administrative and clinical support services rather than the operative procedure it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and municipal governments. The Washington State Department of Transportation (for Washington State Ferries) solicited occupational medical surveillance; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit program administration; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County Board of County Commissioners sought pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across clinical ancillary categories. Recent activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear geographic concentration.
