UNSPSC 85716312: Fusion of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with interbody fusion device, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with interbody fusion device, anterior 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 0RGA3A0

UNSPSC 85716312 (Fusion of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with interbody fusion device, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The six most recent opportunities posted under or near this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, and emergency services for detained youth—none of which involve spinal fusion devices or orthopedic implants. The mismatch suggests either miscategorization of these opportunities by issuing bodies or a genuine absence of current state and local solicitation activity for the specific procedure and implant type the code describes.

State and local procurement of spinal fusion devices and related orthopedic implants, when it does occur, typically flows through group purchasing organization (GPO) cooperative contracts, managed-care benefit programs, or hospital system supply agreements rather than direct competitive RFPs. The code's focus on a narrow procedural-implant combination—anterior thoracolumbar fusion with interbody device via percutaneous approach—further limits visibility in traditional state and local solicitation channels, which tend to issue RFPs for broader medical device categories, bundled surgical services, or GPO membership rather than procedure-specific implant procurement. No visible state or local contract opportunity currently reflects demand for this commodity.
