UNSPSC 85716119: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in thoracic 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 thoracic 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 0RW63KZ

UNSPSC 85716119 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in thoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical taxonomy. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, health plan surgical carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve surgical revision of vertebral joint implants or the orthopedic implant procurement the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or incidental use of the code for broader medical services contracting where the taxonomy does not fit the transaction.

The opportunities that do appear under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies—a city pension board (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county health care consortium (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara County, California)—spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington with no geographic concentration. State and local procurement professionals should treat this code as inactive for its intended commodity and verify the correct taxonomy before pursuing or planning around vertebral implant or orthopedic revision opportunities in state and local markets.
