UNSPSC 85716734: Removal of interbody fusion device from cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of interbody fusion device from cervicothoracic 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 0RP44AZ

UNSPSC 85716734, Removal of interbody fusion device from cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure — removal of a cervical or thoracic spinal fusion implant via minimally invasive endoscopic technique — yet none of the recent state and local opportunities posted under it match that clinical specification. The opportunities instead address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs for centers of excellence, temporary health professional staffing pools, and emergency/specialty healthcare services for detained youth. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these opportunities with this code despite their substantial scope divergence from the procedure name, suggesting either taxonomy misalignment or administrative miscoding at the source jurisdictions.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), county governments (Collier County Florida, Harris County Texas, Santa Clara County California), and cities (Phoenix Arizona, Long Beach California), with no discernible pattern suggesting concentration under this code. Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Given the absence of opportunities that actually purchase the procedure named in the code and the apparent mismatch between the code assignment and the medical services being solicited, this code does not represent a viable procurement category for firms pursuing spine surgery device or surgical services contracting at the state and local level.
