UNSPSC 85715633: Repair thoracolumbar vertebral disc, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair thoracolumbar vertebral disc, 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 0RQB0ZZ

UNSPSC 85715633 Repair thoracolumbar vertebral disc, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure for spinal disc repair. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with that scope. Instead, the code carries activity in healthcare administration, pharmacy services management, virtual care delivery, behavioral health support, and emergency medical services oversight — service lines that bear no clinical relationship to spinal surgery. The mismatch suggests this code may be misapplied in state and local procurement systems or used as a catch-all taxonomy marker for health-sector contracts broadly rather than as a specific procedural classification.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, and Monroe County in Florida), county health departments (San Mateo County in California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica in California). Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), and San Mateo County's RFP for peer support services for peer workers under the Mental Health Services Act Innovation pilot (due July 2, 2025). Activity is concentrated in California and Florida, with scattered engagement in Georgia. Because the code shows no recent procurement of actual spinal repair procedures at the state or local level, this taxonomy designation carries limited predictive value for business development targeting orthopedic or surgical service lines.
