UNSPSC 85471955: Insertion of monitoring device into spinal canal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of monitoring device into spinal canal, 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 00HU32Z

UNSPSC 85471955 Insertion of monitoring device into spinal canal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code's taxonomy describes a surgical procedure — placement of a spinal monitoring device — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involves insertion of monitoring devices into the spinal canal or percutaneous spinal procedures.

The issuing bodies posting under this code represent a diverse set of state and local jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (on behalf of pension boards), the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. The most recent representative opportunity is the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP 26001 (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services including disability medical record summaries and physician examinations, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 (due October 9, 2026) seeks occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington locations for ferry system employees. The mismatch between the code's stated procedure and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or that this code is not the appropriate vehicle for capturing these healthcare administration and occupational health services in state and local procurement systems.
