This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of thoracic vertebral joint with synthetic 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 0RG63J1

UNSPSC 85716353 Fusion of thoracic vertebral joint with synthetic substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for spinal fusion, but state and local procurement systems do not procure surgical procedures themselves as discrete line items. Instead, they contract for medical services, benefits administration, staffing, and provider networks that may encompass such procedures as part of broader healthcare delivery or benefit management scopes.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a mismatch between the surgical procedure nomenclature and actual state and local buying behavior. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve procurement of a specific fusion procedure or orthopedic implant. The code does not align with state and local contracting patterns in current market activity.
