UNSPSC 85716719: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from thoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from thoracic 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 0RP64KZ

UNSPSC 85716719 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from thoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the state and local solicitations tagged under it do not align with orthopedic spine surgery procurement. Instead, the recent opportunities span occupational health surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical benefit plan administration, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve removal of tissue substitutes or vertebral joint interventions. The source does not support a coherent narrative of what state and local governments actually buy under this code, and the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the posted opportunities suggests a tagging anomaly rather than active procurement demand for the procedure itself.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), and a city employee benefits program (City of Long Beach). Geographic activity appears scattered across Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona with no clear concentration. Without opportunities that genuinely reflect the code's commodity description, evaluating pursuit under this code requires clarification from the issuing body or a search under related medical procedure codes that may better capture the actual procurement domain.
