UNSPSC 85716291: Insertion of facet replacement spinal stabilization device into cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of facet replacement spinal stabilization device into cervical 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 0RH13DZ

UNSPSC 85716291, Insertion of facet replacement spinal stabilization device into cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure for spinal stabilization; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks for health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve the procurement or insertion of medical devices or direct surgical intervention. The mismatch between the code's technical definition and the work actually being solicited suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code is not currently in active use for state and local government procurement of spinal stabilization devices or related procedures.

The few opportunities tagged to this code span multiple jurisdictions and issuing body types, including city pension boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, county detention facilities, and municipal employee benefits programs across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration emerges. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (posted September 16, 2026, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (posted August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026). The absence of active procurement for the device or procedure named in the code itself, combined with consistent miscoding across multiple jurisdictions, signals that vendors pursuing spinal stabilization device sales should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before bid preparation and consider whether a different UNSPSC code better captures the actual procurement vehicle for their product line.
