UNSPSC 85716274: Insertion of internal fixation device into thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation 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 0RHA34Z

UNSPSC 85716274 Insertion of internal fixation device into thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure involving spinal instrumentation. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not match the procedure description. Instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out networks for municipal health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These opportunities concern health plan administration, staffing, and occupational health — not the insertion of thoracolumbar fixation devices. The mismatch suggests the code may be tagged incorrectly in source records or is being used as a catch-all for health-services procurement broadly.

Issuing bodies pursuing under this code include a state department of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), a city (Long Beach), and a municipal retirement board (City of Phoenix). Geographic activity spans Washington, Florida, California, Texas, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 covering 14 ferry locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP for pension disability determinations with a $750,000 maximum over five years due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award temporary health professional staffing services vehicle due October 7, 2026. The code does not surface meaningful procurement activity aligned with its nominal clinical scope.
