UNSPSC 85716286: Insertion of interspinous process spinal stabilization device into cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of interspinous process spinal stabilization device into cervicothoracic 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 0RH43BZ

UNSPSC 85716286 Insertion of interspinous process spinal stabilization device into cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with a clinically specific scope that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The posted opportunities instead track healthcare and behavioral health services procurement — inmate medical and pharmacy management, county employee pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic spinal implant devices or the surgical procedures the code nominally describes.

The mismatch suggests this code is a data-classification outlier within the state and local procurement system. The most recent opportunities span Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) procuring comprehensive inmate medical services for Muscogee County Prison, Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) managing pharmacy benefit services for approximately 7,200 covered employees and dependents, Monroe County (Florida) soliciting virtual primary and urgent care services, San Mateo County (California) funding a peer support pilot for behavioral health peer workers, and the City of Santa Monica Fire Department (California) recruiting a medical director. All five opportunities posted between February and April 2026. No recent state and local solicitations reference orthopedic implant procurement, spinal surgical supply contracts, or medical device distribution under this code. If your firm pursues orthopedic or spinal implant vendor relationships within state and local procurement, verify the applicable UNSPSC code directly with the issuing body before bid preparation, as the taxonomy classification shown here appears misapplied to the actual goods being bought.
