UNSPSC 85716717: Removal of infusion device from thoracic vertebral disc, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from thoracic vertebral disc, 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 0RP943Z

UNSPSC 85716717 Removal of infusion device from thoracic vertebral disc, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and youth detention emergency medical services — none of which align with the code's stated scope of vertebral disc device removal. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a data-integrity issue in the underlying database.

The recent opportunities do reflect genuine state and local health-services procurement across issuing bodies including county health systems, county commissioners' offices, state transportation departments, city retirement offices, and county juvenile probation departments. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ in July 2026 for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP in September 2026 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP in August 2026 for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026); and Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately $8.7 million in historical annual spending. These opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but they do not belong under this code's scope. Vendors evaluating this Commodity code should verify actual coding accuracy and recent history before committing procurement-development resources to what appears to be a miscoded or inactive category.
