UNSPSC 85716351: Fusion of thoracic vertebral joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0RG63K0

UNSPSC 85716351 Fusion of thoracic vertebral joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's description identifies a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve spinal fusion surgery, anterior approach techniques, or related orthopedic implant procurement.

The six most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code comprise independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employee health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County, Florida), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve spinal fusion procedures, orthopedic implants, or vertebral joint reconstruction. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the recent opportunities suggests either a data-tagging error or that the code is not actively used for state and local procurement of the orthopedic surgical services it nominally describes. No state or local jurisdiction has posted a relevant RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB seeking fusion procedures, implant materials, or related surgical supply services under this code in the recent posting window.
