UNSPSC 85716507: Extirpation of matter from cervical vertebral disc, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter 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 0RC33ZZ

UNSPSC 85716507 Extirpation of matter from cervical vertebral disc, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code—including independent medical evaluations for pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent administrative medical services, benefits administration, and clinical staffing rather than spine surgery or any form of procedural intervention. The code's surgical specification appears unrelated to the work state and local agencies are actually soliciting under this tag.

The geographic spread of the mismatched opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), indicating the coding mismatch is not localized but systemic across multiple jurisdictions. The issuing bodies include a city retirement office, a city health benefits administrator, a state transportation agency, a county juvenile probation department, a county health benefits consortium, and a county health system. Given the absence of cervical discectomy or vertebral disc procedures in any recent solicitation, firms pursuing this code should verify the actual commodity classification of opportunities before investing in bid response.
