This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of interbody fusion device 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 0RW63AZ

UNSPSC 85716121 Revision of interbody fusion device in thoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical device classification does not match the medical services, staffing, and administrative contracting actually being solicited by state and local jurisdictions under this tag.

Recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluations for approximately 75 annual disability applications across the Phoenix Fire and Police pension boards (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach sought proposals for Centers of Excellence networks managing knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology surgical procedures for 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, requested occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations with services performed by board-certified occupational physicians (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The County of Santa Clara Health System established a non-exclusive, five-year qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, orthopedic, surgical, and therapy services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Issuing bodies span county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation agencies, and county probation and health departments across California, Washington, Arizona, and Florida. The code shows material misclassification — the recent opportunities center on healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit management rather than spinal device revision, suggesting the code assignment reflects administrative tagging error rather than substantive procurement interest in the implantable device category.
