This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in cervicothoracic 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 0RW43KZ

UNSPSC 85716132 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a spinal surgical procedure involving vertebral joint tissue revision, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which relate to the tissue-revision procedure named in the code taxonomy. This represents a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work being solicited by state and local buyers, suggesting either systemic coding error in the source data or that the code itself is being used as a catchall for unrelated health services activity.

Issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged under this code include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), and a special-purpose district (Washington State Ferries). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members. Given the code's nominal scope does not reflect the actual work being bought, pursuit under this code designation warrants clarification with the relevant procurement office before bid preparation.
