UNSPSC 85715808: Fusion of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with synthetic substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with synthetic substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, open 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 0RGA0J1

UNSPSC 85715808 Fusion of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with synthetic substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific spinal fusion surgical procedure, yet the state and local contract opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare services. These opportunities address administrative healthcare contracting, workforce management, and benefit plan administration—work unrelated to the procurement or delivery of spinal fusion implants or the surgical procedure itself. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the diversity of healthcare services actually being solicited suggests the code is not in active use for the class of work state and local governments are buying in this period.

No state or local procurement activity directly related to spinal fusion implants, surgical instrumentation, or orthopedic procedure kits appears in the recent opportunities block. Business development firms pursuing medical device or orthopedic implant sales to state and local health systems, school districts, or correctional facilities should verify whether this code is the appropriate classification for their offering in their target jurisdictions' procurement systems, as current activity does not support reliable opportunity identification at this UNSPSC tier.
