UNSPSC 85716294: Insertion of spacer into cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer 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 0RH138Z

UNSPSC 85716294 Insertion of spacer into cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal medical device and procedure scope and the recent state and local opportunities actually being sourced under it. The posted solicitations—covering occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical record review, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency youth detention healthcare—represent administrative health services and workforce staffing rather than orthopedic implant procedures or spinal surgery products. No recent state or local procurement under this code appears to involve the purchase or implantation of cervical spacer devices. The code does not reflect active purchasing activity aligned with its stated clinical scope.

The most recent posted opportunities span Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office disability medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out program, due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty and emergency medical services RFI, due September 25, 2026). The issuing bodies include state departments, county governments, and municipal health systems. Given the mismatch between the Commodity code designation and the scope of actual opportunities posted under it, this code warrants limited pursuit focus for vendors supplying orthopedic implants or surgical devices.
