UNSPSC 85716724: Removal of internal fixation device from thoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation 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 0RP644Z

UNSPSC 85716724 Removal of internal fixation device from thoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal clinical procedure scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code describe occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which align with percutaneous endoscopic spinal surgery or device removal. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source records or use of this procedure code as a catch-all taxonomy marker by procurement offices that do not specialize in medical-procedure classification.

The issuing bodies span state health and transportation departments, county human resources and health systems, city retirement offices, and regional probation authorities across Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida. No state or local procurement office has posted a solicitation specifically seeking percutaneous endoscopic thoracic spinal fixation removal services or related orthopedic implant procedures. Without evidence of active demand under the code's stated scope, pursuit does not appear warranted at this time.
