UNSPSC 85716160: Supplement thoracic vertebral disc with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement thoracic vertebral disc with synthetic substitute, 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 0RU93JZ

UNSPSC 85716160 Supplement thoracic vertebral disc with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, shows minimal alignment with its nominal medical device scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect healthcare administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve thoracic spinal implants or surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems posting these opportunities or use of the UNSPSC taxonomy in ways that diverge from the device's clinical definition. State and local governments pursuing this code should verify that opportunities actually require spinal implant products or services before investing business development effort.

The geographic and issuing-body spread across the tagged opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no concentration in any single jurisdiction or state. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The absence of spinal device procurement in these or other recent postings under this code indicates that the code currently carries limited or irrelevant activity for firms supplying orthopedic implants or surgical services.
