UNSPSC 85716772: Insertion of interspinous process 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 interspinous process 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 0RHA4BZ

UNSPSC 85716772 Insertion of interspinous process spinal stabilization device into thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific spinal surgical procedure and medical device, but the most recent opportunities posted under this code solicitate independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical network carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth detention—none of which involve insertion of spinal stabilization devices or the procedural and device scope the code name implies. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the sourcing system or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement without regard to its specific commodity definition.

No relevant recent opportunities exist under this code for vendors providing spinal stabilization devices, device insertion services, or related procedural support. The opportunities that do appear—including solicitations from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefit program, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management, RFP 25-8414), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing, RFSQ HHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—span health plan administration, occupational medicine, and temporary staffing rather than orthopedic devices or spine surgery. This code warrants review for taxonomic accuracy before allocating pursuit resources.
