UNSPSC 85716735: Removal of spacer from cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer 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 0RP448Z

UNSPSC 85716735 Removal of spacer from cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific spinal surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability-related independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve the spinal procedure itself or related orthopedic devices and supplies; instead, they reflect broader medical administration, staffing, and benefits contracting that appears to have been miscoded at the commodity level.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government entities (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), a municipal pension board (City of Phoenix), and a municipal health system (City of Long Beach). Recent activity spans Washington (occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Arizona (disability medical evaluations for public safety pensions, due October 16, 2026), California (surgical benefit carve-out for municipal employees, due October 7, 2026; temporary health staffing pool, due October 7, 2026), Florida (pharmacy benefit management for county employees, due April 9, 2026—a date in the past), and Texas (emergency medical services information request for juvenile detention, due September 25, 2026). The code demonstrates no coherent procurement pattern tied to its stated commodity definition and does not represent a viable pursuit area for vendors in spinal orthopedic devices or procedures.
