This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from upper back, percutaneous 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 0WPK3JZ

UNSPSC 85763026 Removal of synthetic substitute from upper back, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedure designation and the work actually being solicited by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve surgical removal of synthetic implants or percutaneous procedures; instead, they reflect procurement for occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, medical evaluation services, and specialty surgical carve-out programs. The code appears to be misapplied in the state and local procurement database to services that fall outside its nominal clinical scope.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county human resources and benefits programs (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP for Washington State Ferries due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program RFP due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing services qualification vehicle due October 7, 2026. Activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical purpose, suggesting that vendors in surgical implant removal or percutaneous procedure markets should not rely on this code for procurement identification in the state and local space.
