UNSPSC 85716673 Supplement cervical vertebral disc with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic or spine surgery procurement. Instead, the opportunities reveal a significant mismatch: the code captures medical services procurement across occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks for employee health plans, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the code's nominal spine surgery scope. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span a diverse mix of state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), county governments and health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and regional transit authorities, suggesting the code is being applied as a catch-all category for healthcare services procurement rather than as a specific surgical procedure classification.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no dominant geographic concentration. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations statewide, proposals due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid on August 31, 2026; the City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program offering Centers of Excellence networks for orthopedic, spine, and other specialty procedures for approximately 3,800 city employees and retirees, due October 7, 2026 with contract start targeted for April 1, 2027; and the County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows recent activity but reflects a taxonomy mismatch rather than a coherent surgical procedure procurement stream.
