UNSPSC 85716340: Fusion of 2 to 7 thoracic vertebral joints with interbody fusion device, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of 2 to 7 thoracic vertebral joints with interbody fusion device, 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 0RG73AJ

UNSPSC 85716340 Fusion of 2 to 7 thoracic vertebral joints with interbody fusion device, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code — independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical carve-out benefits for employee health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), specialty medical services for youth in custody (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System) — are administrative healthcare purchasing and general medical staffing services that do not align with orthopedic spinal fusion procedures or implantable medical devices.

The code's clinical specificity (thoracic vertebral fusion with interbody device via percutaneous posterior approach) targets a narrow surgical procedure and its associated hardware, whereas the tagged solicitations are health plan administration, occupational health screening, detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing. State and local health systems and benefits administrators do not typically procure individual surgical procedure codes through standard RFP or RFQ channels; such procedures are instead managed through hospital surgical service agreements, bundled payment networks, or Centers of Excellence arrangements. The mismatch between the code's medical-device scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either classification error in the opportunities database or that this code does not reflect meaningful state and local contracting activity at present.
