UNSPSC 85716661: Supplement thoracic vertebral disc with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement thoracic vertebral disc with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0RU947Z

UNSPSC 85716661 Supplement thoracic vertebral disc with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity actually being tagged under it. The recent opportunities associated with this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve spinal surgical procedures or tissue grafting. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific surgical technique) and the actual work being procured (medical administration, plan management, and ancillary health staffing) suggests either a data-tagging error in the state and local procurement system or that the code has been repurposed to capture a broader family of medical services contracting that does not map to its UNSPSC definition.

The issuing bodies span county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System), municipal departments (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 include the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards' request for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; Long Beach's RFP for Centers of Excellence surgical networks due October 7, 2026; Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid on August 31; and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Because the code nominally describes a surgical procedure and the recent opportunities describe administrative and staffing services unrelated to spinal surgery, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms specializing in thoracic disc supplement procurement or surgical implant supply.
