UNSPSC 85716360: Fusion of thoracic vertebral joint with autologous 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 autologous 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 0RG6370

UNSPSC 85716360 Fusion of thoracic vertebral joint with autologous tissue substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment between its clinical procedural name and the state and local procurement opportunities recently tagged under it. The code's title describes a specific spinal fusion surgical technique, yet the recent state and local solicitations posting under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits management, and youth detention healthcare — none of which match the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch signals either a classification error in the tagging system or that the code is being repurposed inconsistently across state and local procurement databases. State and local buyers posting opportunities under this code are not soliciting thoracic vertebral fusion procedures or related surgical supplies and services.

Recent activity does show issuing bodies across multiple jurisdictions and governance types — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — but their posted opportunities reflect healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits management rather than orthopedic surgical services. Without evidence that state and local governments are actually soliciting spinal fusion procedures, surgical implants, or related clinical services under this code, pursuing it on the assumption that the nominal code title reflects actual demand would likely prove unproductive. Firms in orthopedic surgical device, implant, or procedure support should verify code alignment directly with target procurement offices rather than relying on this code's recent posting history.
