UNSPSC 85715710: Inspection of thoracolumbar vertebral joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to inspection of thoracolumbar vertebral joint, 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 0RJA0ZZ

UNSPSC 85715710 Inspection of thoracolumbar vertebral joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific spinal surgical procedure—does not align with the six recent opportunities posted under this code designation. Those opportunities instead cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care carve-outs, and youth detention medical services. None of these solicitations involve thoracolumbar vertebral inspection or surgical spine procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a data-collection artifact; state and local procurement offices do not routinely contract for specific surgical procedures as standalone line items, and the recent postings offer no evidence of buying activity consistent with the code's stated scope.

Across the six postings, issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health agencies (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county probation systems (Harris County), county boards of commissioners (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Given the systematic mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited, this code is not actionable for firms pursuing state and local spine surgery or orthopedic procedure opportunities.
