UNSPSC 85716275: Insertion of infusion device into thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion 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 0RHA33Z

UNSPSC 85716275 Insertion of infusion device into thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—including independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and pharmacy benefit management—do not align with orthopedic spinal infusion procedures. The code's nominal scope targets a specific surgical intervention (percutaneous infusion device placement in thoracic or lumbar vertebral joints), but the solicitations posted under it reflect broader health services procurement, employee benefits administration, and occupational health services that fall outside interventional spine surgery supply or procedural services.

No state and local contract opportunities identified in the source material reflect actual procurement of percutaneous thoracolumbar infusion devices, device implantation services, or related procedural materials. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the health administration and occupational medicine services dominating recent postings suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or application of this code to health services categories where it does not logically fit. Firms pursuing opportunities under this code should verify directly with issuing bodies whether spinal infusion procedures or devices are actually being procured; current activity does not support a pursuit strategy based on the code's stated scope.
