UNSPSC 85716608: Revision of interbody fusion device in thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of interbody fusion device in thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0RWA4AZ

UNSPSC 85716608 Revision of interbody fusion device in thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code solicit medical services — occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve procurement, revision, or implantation of spinal fusion devices. The code appears to have been misapplied to health services contracting by the issuing bodies, suggesting either a cataloging error or a systematic mismatch between UNSPSC medical-device taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices tag services-focused health opportunities.

The opportunities originate from a mix of jurisdictions: county health systems and county human resources functions (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city pension and retirement boards (Phoenix), city health plans (Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic representation spans Florida, Arizona, California, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Recent solicitations include Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach requesting surgical center-of-excellence carve-out services for its Anthem PPO plan (RFP due October 7, 2026), and Washington State Department of Transportation seeking occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations statewide (RFP due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). The code does not reflect active procurement of spinal implants or fusion devices in state and local markets; business development effort under this code would be misplaced.
