UNSPSC 85716402: Fusion of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, 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 0RG43Z1

UNSPSC 85716402 Fusion of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with surgical fusion procedures or orthopedic spine surgery services. State and local procurement offices in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington have posted these solicitations, but they address occupational and administrative medical services delivery and health plan management rather than surgical interventions on the cervicothoracic spine.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being purchased suggests the code does not track meaningful activity in the state and local market or that the opportunities have been misclassified. Firms pursuing surgical spine or orthopedic procedure work should monitor state health department RFPs, state employee health plan carve-out opportunities, and Medicaid managed-care organization solicitations for more relevant signals, rather than rely on this code tier for pipeline intelligence.
