UNSPSC 85471855: Insertion of monitoring device into spinal canal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of monitoring device into spinal canal, open 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 00HU02Z

UNSPSC 85471855 Insertion of monitoring device into spinal canal, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for implanting spinal monitoring equipment, but the most recent opportunities tagged to it reflect healthcare administration, benefits management, and occupational medical surveillance — none of which involve the insertion of monitoring devices into spinal canals or match the code's clinical scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested proposals for surgical procedure carve-out benefits management through Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); and Collier County solicited pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 258414, due April 9, 2026). A separate County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is likewise administrative rather than procedural.

This code does not appear to be used by state and local procurement offices to tag opportunities for spinal monitoring device implantation or related clinical interventions. The tagging mismatch suggests either a data classification error at the source or that the code sits outside the active state and local procurement market. Vendors pursuing work under this code should verify whether opportunities actually aligned to spinal device insertion are posted under alternative UNSPSC classifications or whether demand for such services from public entities remains minimal.
