UNSPSC 85471856: Insertion of infusion device into spinal canal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion 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 00HU03Z

UNSPSC 85471856 Insertion of infusion device into spinal canal, open approach (Commodity) describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show no alignment with the nominal scope—the code sees little relevant recent activity. The most recent opportunities posted under this identifier instead cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out administration, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve spinal infusion device insertion or related surgical procedure delivery. The mismatch suggests this code either reflects a data-tagging error in the state and local procurement pipeline or is used inconsistently across issuing bodies for work that falls outside its intended commodity definition.

The six opportunities on record span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, sourced from city retirement offices, municipal health benefits programs, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, county commissioners, and county health systems. None of the recent solicitations target medical device procurement, surgical procedure planning, or physician services specific to spinal intervention—the work actually being bought includes administrative medical evaluation coordination (City of Phoenix, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), employee surgical network management (City of Long Beach, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), occupational health screening (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and health professional staffing pools (County of Santa Clara, RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code warrants close scrutiny during bid research; opportunities posted under it may require verification against actual scope of work before resource allocation.
