UNSPSC 85716134: Revision of interbody fusion device in cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of interbody fusion device 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 0RW43AZ

UNSPSC 85716134 Revision of interbody fusion device in cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific spinal surgical procedure and implant, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it concern occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty care for detained youth—none of which align with orthopedic spine device procurement or implant revision procedures. This mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing offices or a data classification error rather than actual procurement demand for the device category itself.

The handful of opportunities span different issuing bodies and geographies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). None of these solicitations concern the purchase, implantation, or revision of interbody fusion devices. Given the absence of properly classified opportunities under this code, firms pursuing spinal device or orthopedic implant business should verify code assignment with issuing procurement offices and seek opportunities under other UNSPSC classifications more accurately reflecting surgical implant and device procurement.
