This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85716650 Revision of internal fixation device in cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment between its nominal scope — a specific spinal surgical procedure — and the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve cervical vertebral fixation devices or surgical procedures. The mismatch appears systematic rather than occasional — the code's technical orthopedic scope does not surface in any of the recent postings.

The issuing bodies reflect broad state and local healthcare purchasing: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Recent opportunities posted between August 20 and September 16, 2026 include the City of Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026) covering approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31); Harris County's RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody (due September 25, 2026); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, covering approximately $8.7 million in annual historical pharmacy spending); and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical ancillary categories (due October 7, 2026). This code warrants review for classification accuracy rather than pursuit on its stated scope.
