UNSPSC 85716770: Insertion of facet replacement spinal stabilization device into thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of facet replacement spinal stabilization device into thoracolumbar 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 0RHA4DZ

UNSPSC 85716770 Insertion of facet replacement spinal stabilization device into thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent relevance to state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving spinal implant insertion; however, recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code do not involve surgical devices, implants, or orthopedic procedures in any direct sense.

The most recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), surgical benefit carve-out network management (City of Long Beach, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), and temporary health professional staffing qualification pools (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—are administrative healthcare procurement, occupational health programs, medical staffing, and benefits management rather than procurement of surgical implants or orthopedic devices. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in the state and local procurement databases. State and local governments do not appear to be purchasing spinal stabilization devices or similar orthopedic implants directly as capital equipment or inventory under this code. Vendors pursuing orthopedic implant opportunities should monitor codes aligned with medical device procurement, hospital capital equipment, or surgical supply categories rather than rely on activity under UNSPSC 85716770.
