UNSPSC 85716782: Insertion of infusion device into thoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into thoracic 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 0RH643Z

UNSPSC 85716782 Insertion of infusion device into thoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged under it do not involve orthopedic surgical device placement or procedural insertion work. Instead, the opportunities reflect public-sector healthcare administration and staffing procurement spanning medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the code's clinical procedure scope. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting typical fragmentation across state health systems, pension boards, and county human resources functions. Purchasing offices are applying this code to healthcare services contracts for which it appears to be a default or mislabeled classification, rather than to medical device procurement or surgical procedures.

Recent opportunities show geographic spread across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, driven by county health systems and municipal retirement offices. Representative recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) budgeted at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out networks (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code does not reflect procurement of infusion devices, thoracic procedures, or endoscopic equipment — its application here signals potential classification error in the state and local procurement systems themselves rather than genuine buying activity aligned with the Commodity's nominal scope.
