This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of cervicothoracic vertebral joint with nonautologous tissue 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 0RG40K1

UNSPSC 85715905 Fusion of cervicothoracic vertebral joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, open approach is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local contract opportunities. The six recent solicitations tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve spinal fusion procedures or orthopedic surgical services. The code appears to be a clinical procedure descriptor from a medical classification taxonomy that state and local procurement offices have misapplied; state and local bodies do not directly procure individual surgical procedures as line items under UNSPSC codes.

Purchasing activity under this code should not be expected in the near term. Bid tracking for this code yields no opportunities aligned with its stated scope of spinal fusion surgery with specific anatomical and approach parameters.
