UNSPSC 85716302: Fusion of thoracolumbar vertebral joint, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of thoracolumbar vertebral joint, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous 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 0RGA3Z1

UNSPSC 85716302 Fusion of thoracolumbar vertebral joint, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted in the recent-opportunities block — covering independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — are tagged under this code but do not reflect the spinal fusion procedure the code nominally describes. State and local procurement offices do not typically solicit surgical procedures or medical devices directly; these opportunities represent health plan administration, medical evaluation coordination, workforce staffing, and benefit management rather than the clinical intervention the code name specifies. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a data collection artifact unrelated to actual demand for fusion services under this UNSPSC classification.

The opportunities that do appear span diverse issuing bodies — municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), cities (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county commissioners and health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County) — across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. None of these solicitations addresses orthopedic surgery, spinal procedures, or implantable devices. Until opportunities in this code begin reflecting actual procurement of fusion procedures, supplies, or related clinical services aligned with the code's scope, this code presents no actionable market signal for firms pursuing state and local work in spine surgery or related orthopedic implantables.
