UNSPSC 85716172: Supplement cervical vertebral disc with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement cervical 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 0RU33JZ

UNSPSC 85716172 Supplement cervical vertebral disc with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally addresses a specific surgical procedure for spinal disc replacement, yet the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code does not reflect orthopedic or surgical supply procurement. Instead, the code shows mixed healthcare-related opportunities spanning inmate medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve cervical vertebral disc implants or spinal hardware. The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California), along with a county behavioral health authority (San Mateo County, California). The disconnect between the code's stated scope and actual procurement activity suggests either tagging misalignment in the source system or that this Commodity code is functioning as a catch-all for healthcare services rather than for the orthopedic implant it nominally describes.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida (two recent RFPs from Collier County and Monroe County, both posted in March–April 2026) and California (San Mateo County in February 2026 and Santa Monica in February 2026), with one opportunity in Georgia (Muscogee County, April 2026). Recent solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 7,200 enrolled members and historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP628 for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code appears inactive as a meaningful signal for sourcing surgical implants or spinal hardware and should be verified against the issuing jurisdiction's taxonomy mapping before inclusion in a capture strategy.
