This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of interbody fusion device 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 0RP64AZ

UNSPSC 85716721 Removal of interbody fusion device from thoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code nominally describes a specific spinal surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it do not reflect medical device procurement or orthopedic procedural services. Instead, the tagged solicitations span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve interbody fusion devices or percutaneous endoscopic spinal procedures. The mismatch suggests the code was assigned in error or serves as a catch-all for medical-service opportunities that do not map cleanly to the taxonomy.

The solicitations themselves span issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RTMRFP26001, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations), the City of Long Beach (HR26753, surgical procedure carve-out benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP20260825, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (PBM services covering approximately 7,200 members statewide), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The code does not reflect a coherent procurement category and should not be the basis for strategic pursuit.
