UNSPSC 85716348: Fusion of thoracic vertebral joint, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of thoracic vertebral joint, 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 0RG63Z0

UNSPSC 85716348 Fusion of thoracic vertebral joint, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific spinal fusion surgical procedure, but the most-recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it do not align with this scope. Recent solicitations tagged to this code include disability medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix), health plan surgical carve-out benefits (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara). None of these opportunities involve thoracic vertebral joint fusion procedures or spine surgery services. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how the opportunities were tagged or that this particular code sees minimal state and local procurement activity in its intended domain.

The geographic spread of the unrelated opportunities spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. No representative opportunities directly address the code's stated scope of thoracic spinal fusion procedures or related orthopedic spine surgery services. Business development professionals should verify code assignment with issuing agencies before pursuing work under this category, as the recent record does not support procurement demand for the specific procedure or service line the code nominally describes.
