UNSPSC 85716730: Removal of infusion device from cervicothoracic 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 cervicothoracic 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 0RP543Z

UNSPSC 85716730 Removal of infusion device from cervicothoracic vertebral disc, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a substantive mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific spinal surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management services, occupational medical surveillance, emergency inpatient care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—involve no spinal procedures, infusion device removal, or percutaneous endoscopic interventions. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems and human resources divisions (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), state transportation departments (Washington), and municipal HR departments (Long Beach). None of the posted solicitations address the surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington through recent posts from July to September 2026, but this geographic diversity reflects mistagging rather than genuine procurement activity under the code. The most concrete recent opportunities—the City of Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara's non-exclusive multiple-award pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026—are entirely unrelated to spinal surgery or device removal. This code shows little relevant recent activity; firms pursuing orthopedic device or spinal procedure revenue should verify procurement systems have correctly categorized opportunities before committing resources.
