UNSPSC 85716106: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous 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 0RWA3KZ

UNSPSC 85716106 (Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local solicitations associated with it. The code nominally describes a surgical spinal procedure using tissue substitutes, but the six posted opportunities involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks for Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which represent revision of spinal tissue substitutes or related orthopedic procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities or drift in how this code is being applied in state and local procurement systems.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span multiple state and local jurisdiction types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (municipal pension administration), the City of Long Beach (municipal human resources and benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation and Washington State Ferries (state agency), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (county), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (county), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (county health system). Geographically, the recent activity appears in Arizona, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara), Washington, Florida, and Texas. Without alignment between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code shows little decision-relevant activity for procurement professionals pursuing orthopedic or spinal tissue-substitute work through state and local channels.
