UNSPSC 85716624: Revision of internal fixation device in thoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in thoracic 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 0RW644Z

UNSPSC 85716624 Revision of internal fixation device in thoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal relevant activity for state and local procurement. The code nominally refers to a specific surgical procedure—revision of spinal fusion hardware using minimally invasive endoscopic technique—yet the recent opportunities tagged to it span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, emergency youth detention medical services, and surgical care networks. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic implant devices, spinal hardware revision, or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The mismatch between the code's technical scope and the work actually being procured suggests either systematic tagging error or that this Commodity code does not represent a material procurement category within state and local government contracting.

The geographic distribution of the few tagged opportunities spans Washington State (Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance), Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office disability medical evaluations), California (Long Beach City surgical care networks and Santa Clara County health professional staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation youth detention healthcare). The dominant activity appears to be health plan administration and staffing rather than procedural equipment or implant acquisition. No representative solicitations directly address the code's nominal scope. A firm evaluating this code should verify current UNSPSC tagging practices with the relevant state procurement offices before committing resources to pursuits in this category.
