UNSPSC 85716200: Joints spine, percutaneous approach-part B

This class includes one or more of 16 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the joints of the spine with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0R.

UNSPSC 85716200 Joints spine, percutaneous approach-part B is a Class code that does not map to any material recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical care carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve percutaneous spine procedures, spinal joint interventions, or related implants or surgical services that the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in state and local procurement systems or that this particular code does not reflect current purchasing patterns among public agencies.

No source material documents active state and local solicitations for percutaneous spine procedures, spinal hardware, or related implantable devices under this code or closely aligned UNSPSC categories. State and local health plans and procurement offices appear to engage spine services through benefit program contracting (as in the Long Beach Centers of Excellence carve-out), occupational health frameworks (as in Washington State Ferries medical surveillance), or provider network agreements that do not surface as discrete UNSPSC-coded solicitations. Business development professionals should investigate whether spine-device and procedural sourcing occurs under parent family or segment codes, through cooperative purchasing vehicles with health systems, or via vendor-direct relationships with public employee health plans rather than through formal RFP channels.
