UNSPSC 85716538: Destruction of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of cervicothoracic 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 0R543ZZ

UNSPSC 85716538 Destruction of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that carries a clinical procedure classification but does not align with the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code. Recent state and local contract opportunities show no procurement activity for the cervicothoracic vertebral joint destruction procedure itself. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical care through Centers of Excellence networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve percutaneous cervicothoracic spine interventions. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in how opportunities were tagged or limited recent procurement activity under this specific procedure code.

Activity is scattered across distinct issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation for PSPRS disability determinations, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP 258414, due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent procurement activity for the procedure named in its taxonomy.
