UNSPSC 85692808: Revision of internal fixation device in cervical vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in cervical vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0PW344Z

UNSPSC 85692808 Revision of internal fixation device in cervical vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, but recent state and local contract opportunities show minimal alignment with its nominal scope. The code appears designed for surgical implant devices and procedures specific to cervical spine fixation, yet the opportunities posted under this classification span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability evaluation services, surgical centers of excellence networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve cervical fixation devices or surgical implants. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all for broader medical procurement activity. The work actually being solicited under this code encompasses medical services administration, occupational health surveillance, specialty pharmacy management, and clinical staffing rather than medical devices or spine surgery procedures.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—a mix of municipal human resources offices, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, and county health systems. The most recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP (due October 9, 2026) covering 14 statewide ferry system locations; the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program RFP (due October 7, 2026) for Centers of Excellence networks; Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (original deadline April 9, 2026, covering approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026) across 13 ancillary clinical categories excluding nursing and physician services. Activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, with opportunities spanning administrative health services, clinical staffing, and pharmacy administration rather than surgical implants.
