UNSPSC 85715916: Fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints, posterior approach, anterior column, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints, posterior 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 0RG20ZJ

UNSPSC 85715916 Fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints, posterior approach, anterior column, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County—solicitate independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the orthopedic surgical service the code nominally describes. The mismatch between code and actual work appears to reflect tagging error rather than genuine demand for cervical fusion surgery under state and local health procurement channels.

State and local health agencies and their benefits administrators are not currently using this code to buy surgical procedures. If your firm offers spine surgery services to state or local health systems, verify the correct UNSPSC code before pursuing opportunities, as this code does not surface active demand in the recent market. The lack of relevant recent activity makes this code a skip unless you have reason to believe the tagging errors will be corrected in future solicitations from these jurisdictions.
