This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of thoracic vertebral joint 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 0RG6070

UNSPSC 85715860 Fusion of thoracic vertebral joint with autologous tissue substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which relate to spinal fusion surgery or orthopedic implant procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure) and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code sees little relevant state and local procurement activity.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional health systems, with no clear concentration among repeat buyers under this particular code. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—all of which fall outside the code's documented scope.
