UNSPSC 85473119 Insertion of monitoring device into spinal cord, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this taxonomy designation. Recent postings tagged with this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve spinal cord device insertion or neurosurgical procedures. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to health services administration and occupational health contracting, rather than to its stated surgical scope. Issuing bodies include counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and health systems. The few opportunities tied to this code are administrative, staffing, and benefits-management services rather than medical device procurement or surgical interventions.

The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 establishing a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; firms pursuing opportunities under this designation should verify the actual commodity or service class intended before business development investment.
