UNSPSC 85763008: Revision of other device in upper back, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of other device in upper back, percutaneous 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 0WWK3YZ

UNSPSC 85763008 Revision of other device in upper back, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal medical-device scope and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code's technical name refers to a specific surgical procedure classification, yet recent solicitations are primarily requesting occupational and occupational-health services, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and health benefit administration support — none of which align with device procurement or surgical procedure codes.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. Of six posted opportunities, one (Washington State Department of Transportation, Ferries Division, requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 locations statewide with due date October 9, 2026) involves medical examinations and occupational health compliance; one (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications, proposals due October 16, 2026, RFP RTMRFP26001) involves medical record review and exam coordination; one (City of Long Beach, requesting surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration, due October 7, 2026) involves health plan management; and three others (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI, Collier County PBM services RFP, and Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing qualification pool) concern health services administration or staffing, not device revision or upper-back procedures. The geographic spread reflects Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas, but the underlying work bears no substantive relationship to the code's stated commodity classification. The misclassification suggests either a data-entry error in the state and local source system or an overly broad application of the code to health services procurement more generally. Business development professionals should verify code accuracy in specific RFPs rather than relying on this code as a reliable filter for device, implant, or procedure-revision opportunities.
