This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion 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 0RP443Z

UNSPSC 85716738 (Removal of infusion device from cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure performed on the spine — does not align with the work actually being solicited under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations reflect general health services administration and clinical staffing rather than the orthopedic procedural intervention the code nominally describes, suggesting either a coding mismatch in source systems or an inconsistent application of UNSPSC classification at the issuing jurisdictions.

The issuing bodies include a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city employee benefits program (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice department (Harris County), a county government (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). None of these opportunities involve the specific surgical procedure the code nominally represents.
