UNSPSC 85716634: Revision of interbody fusion device in cervicothoracic 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 cervicothoracic 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 0RW44AZ

UNSPSC 85716634, Revision of interbody fusion device in cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code showing minimal activity aligned with its medical device name in recent state and local procurement. The code's title references a specific orthopedic surgical implant procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged under it diverge sharply from device procurement and instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and youth detention healthcare services. None of these categories involve spinal fusion devices or orthopedic implants. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing offices or a data artifact in the taxonomy mapping; the code shows no recent state and local opportunities actually purchasing spinal fusion devices or related orthopedic implants.

The issuing bodies in the dataset span state departments, county health systems, municipal retirement offices, and county procurement on behalf of health consortia. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) centered on disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's Ferries division posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance covering multiple facility locations statewide (due October 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026); and Collier County posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management serving approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (originally due April 9, 2026). Geographic activity is scattered across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida with no concentration. Because the recent opportunities do not reflect procurement of the device or service the code nominally describes, this code warrants watch status only; the taxonomy misalignment limits its utility for business development professionals pursuing medical device or surgical implant contracts in the state and local space.
