This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of interspinous process 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 0RHA3BZ

UNSPSC 85716272 Insertion of interspinous process spinal stabilization device into thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows a material disconnect between its nominal scope and the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code. The recent opportunities reflect demand for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve spinal stabilization devices or spine surgery. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state departments of transportation, county juvenile probation departments, and city employee benefits programs.

Geographic activity spans multiple states. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted occupational medical surveillance work across 14 ferry system locations in Washington in August 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited disability evaluation services in Arizona in September 2026; the City of Long Beach posted a surgical procedure carve-out benefit RFP in California in August 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty medical services for detained youth in Texas in August 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing in California in July 2026; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited pharmacy benefit management services in Florida in August 2026. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its clinical taxonomy description; the opportunities posted under this code suggest either systematic mis-tagging by individual issuing bodies or a taxonomy alignment issue within the UNSPSC classification itself for these jurisdictions.
