UNSPSC 85716190: Repair cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair cervicothoracic 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 0RQ43ZZ

UNSPSC 85716190 Repair cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve spinal surgery or percutaneous vertebral repair; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and independent medical evaluation services for public pension systems. The code appears to be applied inconsistently or incorrectly across recent state and local solicitations, resulting in a collection of unrelated healthcare services procurement that does not meaningfully reflect the orthopedic surgical specialty the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread includes activity in Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), though the diversity of services and the mismatch between code name and actual scope limit the practical utility of this Commodity code for targeting procurement activity related to cervicothoracic vertebral repair. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (response due October 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ HHS FY270052 for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026), and Collier County RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (response due April 9, 2026 — a past-due date suggesting a data error in the source). The code does not reliably signal procurement related to spinal surgery or vertebral joint repair within state and local government.
