UNSPSC 85716681: Reposition cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition 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 0RS44ZZ

UNSPSC 85716681 Reposition cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical-procedure scope. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code are pursuing independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with spine-surgery procedures. The mismatch suggests systematic miscoding within the state and local procurement systems using this taxonomy, rather than genuine demand for the specialized surgical service the code nominally describes.

State and local buyers tagging activity to this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state departments of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county health agencies (Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System), and county procurement offices on behalf of health care consortia. Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no geographic concentration evident. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP due October 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP due October 9, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations; and the Santa Clara County Health System posted an RFQ due October 7, 2026 to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. Absent material correction to the coding taxonomy, this code presents minimal opportunity for firms pursuing spine-surgery contracting.
