UNSPSC 85692610: Supplement thoracic vertebra with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement thoracic vertebra with synthetic substitute, 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 0PU40JZ

UNSPSC 85692610 Supplement thoracic vertebra with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for spinal implants. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with orthopedic or surgical implant procurement; instead, the opportunities cluster around healthcare administration, employee health benefits, and emergency medical services delivery. The code appears to be a mismatch with the actual work being solicited, and this category shows little relevant recent activity for vendors seeking to supply surgical implants or spinal devices to state and local governments.

The five recent opportunities spanning February through May 2026 include a correctional health services contract from the Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services, RFP 26-0008, due May 15, 2026), a pharmacy benefit management contract from Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), a virtual primary and urgent care services solicitation from Monroe County (RFP posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026), a peer support services pilot from San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (RFP 2025-007, due July 2, 2025), and a Fire Department Medical Director services contract from the Santa Monica Fire Department (RFP 455, due October 16, 2025). None of these opportunities involve procurement of surgical implants, orthopedic devices, or thoracic vertebral supplements. The geographic spread covers California, Florida, Georgia, and represents county and municipal agencies rather than state health departments or medical procurement offices that would typically source surgical supplies. Vendors targeting this code for spine or orthopedic device sales should verify correct UNSPSC coding and investigate whether the state and local procurement landscape for surgical implants clusters under different commodity or family codes.
