UNSPSC 85716794: Insertion of spacer into cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into cervical 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 0RH148Z

UNSPSC 85716794 Insertion of spacer into cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific spinal surgical procedure—and actual recent state and local procurement activity under the code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, detention-facility medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations address cervical vertebral spacer insertion or spinal implant procurement, suggesting either systematic miscoding in the underlying procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services contracting that does not match the procedure-specific commodity definition.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities span a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal government (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice department (Harris County), a county health system (Santa Clara County), and county government (Collier County), reflecting broad adoption across administrative units and public health authorities. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with solicitations posted between July and September 2026 and response dates clustering between September and October 2026. Because the code shows no recent procurement of actual cervical spacer implants or spinal procedures and the opportunities present are plainly misaligned with the commodity's technical scope, meaningful pursuit of this code as currently tagged is not viable—the mismatch between code definition and actual buying signals that either corrective recoding is needed or the code is not actively used for its intended purpose in state and local procurement.
