UNSPSC 85715919: Fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0RG20KJ

UNSPSC 85715919 Fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints with nonautologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, anterior column, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve spinal fusion procedures or orthopedic surgical implants; instead, they concern independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, surgical care management through centers of excellence, and youth detention medical care. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure with implant specifications—does not match the health-administration, staffing, and benefit-management services that issuing bodies have tagged with this code.

The opportunities span multiple jurisdictions and issuing-body types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). None of these solicitations solicit the surgical procedure or device supply this code describes. Given the mismatch between the code's clinical-procedure definition and the administrative and staffing services actually being procured, state and local procurement interest in spinal fusion implants under this code cannot be determined from the recent opportunities block.
