UNSPSC 85716720: Removal of synthetic 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 synthetic 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 0RP64JZ

UNSPSC 85716720 Removal of synthetic substitute from thoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific spinal surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification do not match that scope—they span independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement benefits, surgical procedure carve-out networks, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. State and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities with this orthopedic-procedure code despite their actual work being administrative health services, benefits management, workforce staffing, or occupational medicine delivery. The misalignment between the code's clinical descriptor and the solicitations' actual scope suggests either data-entry error in the opportunity-tagging process or use of the code as a catch-all health-services classifier within specific jurisdictions' procurement systems.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation (statewide), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California)—spanning retirement administration, municipal employee benefits, state transportation operations, county detention systems, and county health systems. Because the opportunities are unrelated to the code's nominal content, this code does not represent a coherent procurement category for business development purposes. Firms pursuing state and local work in orthopedic surgery delivery, spinal procedures, surgical networks, or occupational health services should search under distinct medical-procedure or health-services codes rather than rely on this classification as a sourcing tool.
