This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, 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 0RG43ZJ

UNSPSC 85716401 Fusion of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this surgical procedure code are uniformly unrelated to the code's nominal scope: they consist of independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applications, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve cervicothoracic vertebral fusion procedures, spinal implants, surgical instruments, or surgical center capacity contracting. The code appears to be a miscategorization artifact in state and local procurement systems rather than an active procurement category.

This code does not currently represent meaningful purchasing activity under its stated definition. State and local agencies do not typically procure individual surgical procedure codes through RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB vehicles; when they do contract for spine surgery services or related clinical capacity, those transactions are either embedded within health plan management, occupational health programs, or emergency department service lines — none of which is present in the recent solicitation record for this specific code. Pursue activity under related higher-tier codes (such as health plan administration, occupational health services, or emergency medical services) rather than this Commodity code directly.
