UNSPSC 85716182: Reposition cervicothoracic vertebral joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition cervicothoracic vertebral joint with internal fixation device, 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 0RS434Z

UNSPSC 85716182 (Reposition cervicothoracic vertebral joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach), a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope describes a surgical procedure; the state and local opportunities posted under it center on occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks for employee health plans, and temporary health professional staffing. These opportunities involve medical administration, service contracting, and health plan management—not the orthopedic surgical procedures the code name implies. The mismatch suggests this code is either misapplied to these health-services solicitations or has become a catch-all category for medical-service procurement within certain state and local procurement systems, rendering it unreliable for vendors focused on orthopedic implant systems or spinal-fixation devices.

The issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), two California municipalities (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), a Florida county (Collier County), an Arizona city (Phoenix), and a Texas county (Harris County). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for a surgical carve-out and Centers of Excellence program; and the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry-system locations statewide. Given the disconnect between the code's stated procedure and the work actually solicited, exercise caution before pursuing this code as a vehicle for health-services or medical-device opportunities.
