UNSPSC 85473243: Revision of synthetic substitute in spinal cord, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in spinal cord, 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 00WV3JZ

UNSPSC 85473243 Revision of synthetic substitute in spinal cord, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal surgical scope and the state and local opportunities recently posted under it. The code's title suggests spinal cord replacement procedures, but the recent solicitations tagged with this code predominantly involve occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension and disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which involve spinal cord implantation or revision. The issuing bodies span county human resources and health system procurement (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Long Beach), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and county juvenile justice systems (Harris County). No recurring buyer appears in the recent opportunities block.

Activity concentrates in California, Arizona, and Washington, with isolated solicitations in Florida and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code's nominal scope—surgical revision of spinal cord implants—does not match the work actually being solicited and awarded under this classification, suggesting either persistent miscoding by state and local procurement offices or that this particular UNSPSC code is not a reliable indicator of true procurement intent in the current market.
