UNSPSC 85716111: Revision of internal fixation device in thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device 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 0RWA34Z

UNSPSC 85716111 Revision of internal fixation device in thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic implants, spinal fusion devices, or surgical procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical care center-of-excellence networks, and temporary health professional staffing. This mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied to these solicitations or functions as a catch-all classification for health-services procurement in some jurisdictions' taxonomy workflows. The issuing bodies include county human resources departments, county health systems, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, and municipal retirement offices—a broad cross-section of state and local health and safety procurement rather than a coherent product or service family.

The recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no geographic concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's current tagging appears to reflect administrative classification rather than procurement substance, limiting its utility as a signal for spinal implant or orthopedic device vendors.
