UNSPSC 85715845: Fusion of 2 to 7 thoracic vertebral joints with autologous tissue substitute, anterior approach, anterior 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 with autologous tissue substitute, anterior approach, anterior 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 0RG7070

UNSPSC 85715845, Fusion of 2 to 7 thoracic vertebral joints with autologous tissue substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, open approach (Commodity), shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent state and local opportunities posted under this code—ranging from independent medical evaluation services for pension boards to pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and hospital-based emergency care for detained youth—involve no spinal fusion procedures or related implantable medical devices. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or limited real-world alignment between this code and state and local purchasing patterns.

No state and local government is actively buying spinal fusion services or devices under this code based on posted opportunities as of October 2026. Buyers across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida have tagged unrelated healthcare administration, staffing, and medical benefit management work with this code, indicating that direct procurement of orthopedic surgical procedures or implants is either handled through mechanisms not reflected in standard UNSPSC coding (such as hospital group purchasing agreements, manufacturer direct contracts, or specialty networks) or that state and local bodies do not commonly use this code to flag such work in competitive solicitations.
