This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter 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 0RC13ZZ

UNSPSC 85716508 Extirpation of matter from cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its stated medical procedure scope. The recent opportunities posted against this code do not involve cervical spine procedures or percutaneous interventions; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical networks, and emergency youth detention healthcare. The code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited under it do not align, suggesting either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this particular code is not actively used for spine-related procedures in the jurisdictions posting contracts during the review window.

The mix of recent issuers spans state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, County of Santa Clara Health System), county government (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and city government (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations involve spinal procedures or the percutaneous interventions the code nominally describes.
