UNSPSC 85715832: Fusion of 2 to 7 thoracic vertebral joints, posterior approach, posterior column, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of 2 to 7 thoracic vertebral joints, 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 0RG70Z1

UNSPSC 85715832 Fusion of 2 to 7 thoracic vertebral joints, posterior approach, posterior column, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on the spine; however, no recent opportunities in the source material solicit or reference this specific procedure or related surgical services.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, and surgical carve-out programs for government health plans. None of these commodities or services relate to thoracic vertebral fusion surgery. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in how opportunities were tagged to the code or that this code does not currently see active state and local procurement.
