This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation 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 0RWA44Z

UNSPSC 85716611 Revision of internal fixation 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 of orthopedic surgical devices or procedures. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care carve-out benefits, temporary health professional staffing, and inpatient specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve thoracolumbar spinal fixation devices or procedures. This mismatch indicates either a coding error in state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for medical services unrelated to its stated commodity. State and local procurement professionals should verify the actual code assignment before pursuing work under this Commodity classification.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged with this code include large county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), regional health consortia (Collier County Health Care Consortium), and municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no discernible concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations due October 16, 2026; Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Given the absence of alignment between the code's orthopedic device scope and the medical services and staffing opportunities actually being solicited, this code warrants careful review before business development investment.
