UNSPSC 85716407: Fusion of cervicothoracic vertebral joint with synthetic substitute, posterior 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 with synthetic substitute, 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 0RG43JJ

UNSPSC 85716407 Fusion of cervicothoracic vertebral joint with synthetic substitute, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—cervicothoracic vertebral fusion with synthetic implant—yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve procurement of that service or related surgical implants. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which align with the code's stated scope of a discrete surgical intervention. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding within state and local procurement systems or that this code receives minimal direct activity and may not merit targeted pursuit.

The recent opportunities that do appear under this code originate from geographically dispersed state and local bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. These represent a mix of municipal, county, and state purchasing offices rather than health systems or providers themselves purchasing surgical supplies or services. No opportunities in the block reflect acquisition of cervicothoracic fusion devices, vertebral implants, surgical procedure services, or related procurement typical of health systems, surgical centers, or medical device distributors. Unless your firm's focus extends into the broader administrative and benefits management services these jurisdictions are actually buying, this code presents a poor targeting opportunity.
