UNSPSC 85716271: Insertion of pedicle-based spinal stabilization device into thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of pedicle-based spinal stabilization device into 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 0RHA3CZ

UNSPSC 85716271, Insertion of pedicle-based spinal stabilization device into thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve procurement of the orthopedic implant device or spinal stabilization procedure specified in the code's definition; instead, they address medical administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing at the local and regional level.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure and implant—and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or that this code does not currently represent active purchasing activity for spinal stabilization devices by state and local government entities. The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities span city retirement offices, municipal benefits functions, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and juvenile justice departments, but their work centers on health plan administration and clinical staffing rather than orthopedic device supply or surgical procedure contracting. Absent evidence of actual device or procedure procurement under this code, the activity does not support a meaningful business development strategy in this category.
