This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with synthetic substitute, posterior approach, anterior 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 0RGA3JJ

UNSPSC 85716307 Fusion of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with synthetic substitute, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code showing no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under or near this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with orthopedic spinal fusion procedures or implantable medical devices. State and local procurement offices do not typically solicit spine-fusion surgery directly through this taxonomy; instead, they contract for managed care services, medical staffing, occupational health programs, and benefit administration that may encompass such procedures as line items within broader healthcare networks. The issuing bodies in recent postings include city retirement boards, municipal employee benefits offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county commissioners, and county probation departments.

The geographic spread of recent activity covers Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration pattern evident and no repeat buyer appearing across multiple recent solicitations under this code. Given the mismatch between the code's narrow clinical procedure specification and the broad administrative and staffing services appearing in recent state and local notices, this code warrants close scrutiny before pursuit — the taxonomy label may not reflect how procurement offices are actually tagging health services opportunities, or activity under this specific code may be minimal or dormant. Vendors offering spinal fusion implants, surgical services, or procedure-specific devices should search broader health procurement categories (such as general medical services, hospital supplies, or physician services codes) or monitor cooperative purchasing agreements and health plan solicitations rather than rely on this commodity code as a discovery tool.
