UNSPSC 85716403: Fusion of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, 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 0RG43Z0

UNSPSC 85716403, Fusion of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code solicited independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which constitute the procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied in recent state and local tagging or the code does not reflect the actual goods and services state and local governments are purchasing in this category.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies including 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 Santa Clara County Health System, with geographic activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, cost-based evaluation), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle). The consistent thread across these opportunities is medical and health service delivery to government employees, retirees, and beneficiaries, not surgical procedures.
