UNSPSC 85716320: Fusion of 8 or more thoracic vertebral joints with nonautologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of 8 or more thoracic vertebral joints with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0RG83K1

UNSPSC 85716320 Fusion of 8 or more thoracic vertebral joints with nonautologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its stated scope. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, surgical benefit plan management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, specialty emergency medical services for detained youth, and independent medical evaluation services—none of which relate to spinal fusion procedures or surgical implant procurement. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification that does not map to state and local government purchasing patterns.

State and local buyers across the sample range from county health systems and municipal retirement offices to state transportation and juvenile justice agencies, but they are soliciting health plan administration, medical staffing, and occupational health services rather than surgical procedures or implants. The geographic spread includes Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Because the code's nominal scope does not align with how state and local governments actually procure, the activity it reports does not reflect a tradable market opportunity for firms offering spinal fusion devices, surgical services, or related orthopedic products.
