This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition thoracolumbar 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 0RSA3ZZ

UNSPSC 85716177 Reposition thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the most recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical care for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve thoracolumbar vertebral repositioning or any spinal surgical procedure. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement system or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services broadly.

The available solicitations show activity across state departments, county health systems, and municipal agencies in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no pattern of repeat buyers under this code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation is procuring occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the City of Long Beach is requesting a surgical benefit carve-out program for Centers of Excellence networks (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026). Because the code shows no relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its stated scope, the code appears inactive for business development purposes at this time.
