UNSPSC 85715721: Insertion of spacer into thoracolumbar vertebral joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0RHA08Z

UNSPSC 85715721 Insertion of spacer into thoracolumbar vertebral joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The six most recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve spinal implant procedures or orthopedic device insertion. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention, yet the recent solicitations reflect broad healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits management work unrelated to implantable medical devices or operative procedures. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or the code's disuse in state and local procurement.

State and local issuing bodies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington posted these healthcare and benefits-related opportunities during July through September 2026, but none solicited spinal spacer devices, surgical kits, or implant-related procurement. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought disability medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach requested surgical benefit carve-out management (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). No procurement activity under this code appears to match the device or procedure category it nominally represents.
