UNSPSC 85716614: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in thoracic vertebral disc, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in thoracic vertebral disc, 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 0RW94KZ

UNSPSC 85716614 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in thoracic vertebral disc, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal descriptor does not reflect the recent state and local purchasing activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical care networks, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the spinal tissue-substitute surgical procedure named in the code descriptor. The mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding issue or that jurisdictional procurement systems are applying this code to cover a broader family of occupational and employee health services. State and local buyers under this code include city retirement boards, county human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county probation departments. Work being solicited encompasses baseline and exit occupational medical examinations for ferry workers, disability benefit medical record review and scheduling of independent medical evaluations for pension applicants, surgical benefits carve-out programs for municipal employees, specialty pharmacy management, and temporary staffing placement in ancillary clinical roles.

Activity is distributed across Washington, Arizona, Florida, California, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with a two-year contract term and optional five-year extension, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 for disability medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories, due October 7, 2026. The code shows no cohesive activity pattern and the procedural scope does not match the opportunities being procured; buyers evaluating this code should verify whether their target jurisdictions have misclassified health services solicitations or whether alternative UNSPSC family codes better capture occupational health, employee benefits, and temporary staffing procurement activity.
