UNSPSC 85716117: Revision of infusion device in thoracic vertebral disc, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of infusion device in thoracic vertebral disc, 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 0RW933Z

UNSPSC 85716117 Revision of infusion device in thoracic vertebral disc, percutaneous approach (Commodity) does not align with the state and local contract opportunities currently being solicited under this code. The recent activity in the source material comprises medical evaluation services, surgical benefit programs, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve spinal infusion device revision procedures or implantable medical devices.

The mismatch suggests either a coding anomaly in the state and local procurement database or a transition in how jurisdictions are tagging opportunities under this Commodity code. State and local procurement offices do purchase medical devices and related surgical services through health systems, county employee benefit plans, and detention facilities, but the opportunities posted under 85716117 in the past 90 days do not reflect procurement of thoracic vertebral infusion devices or revision procedures. Vendors evaluating whether to pursue contracts under this code should verify the actual scope of upcoming solicitations before investing in RFP response, as the nominal code definition and the work being actively bought appear disconnected.
