UNSPSC 85716707: Removal of synthetic substitute from thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0RPA4JZ

UNSPSC 85716707 Removal of synthetic substitute from thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The six most-recent state and local opportunities posted under this code—spanning Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County—do not align with the code's surgical-procedure scope. The opportunities instead cover independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None directly procures the specific thoracolumbar vertebral-joint surgical procedure named in the code.

The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding during opportunity intake or that this particular Commodity code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices to tag medical services they actually buy. Business development professionals evaluating activity under this code should treat it as inactive for pursuit purposes and verify with individual issuing bodies whether they tag spinal surgical procedures under this or an alternate classification. The broader medical-services opportunities visible in the source—evaluation services, benefit administration, occupational health, and temporary clinical staffing—suggest that state and local health purchasing occurs under codes describing the service function (evaluation, administration, staffing) rather than under specific surgical-procedure Commodity codes.
