UNSPSC 85716146: Revision of synthetic substitute in cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in cervical 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 0RW13JZ

UNSPSC 85716146 Revision of synthetic substitute in cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but recent state and local contract opportunities show no procurements for the orthopedic surgical procedure specified by the code's clinical title. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code span occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, specialty pharmacy management, temporary health professional staffing placement, and youth detention emergency medical services—none of which align with cervical vertebral joint revision surgery. The mismatch indicates either a data-entry error in the opportunity tagging or a systematic misclassification in the state and local procurement system. No relevant recent activity exists under this code as currently defined.

Given the absence of procurement activity matching the code's scope, this code represents no near-term business development opportunity. The issuing bodies in the tagged opportunities—Arizona public pension boards, West Coast city and county health departments, county detention authorities, and regional health systems—are all active purchasers of health services, but they are not buying surgical procedures or implants under this code. Firms pursuing orthopedic device or surgical services contracts should monitor UNSPSC codes tied to medical device supply, hospital surgical services procurement, or workers' compensation-related medical procedures, as those categories are more likely to capture genuine demand from state and local buyers.
