This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints, 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 0RG23ZJ

UNSPSC 85716416 Fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical procurement or medical device supply. Instead, the opportunities solicited cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve spine fusion implants, surgical instrumentation, or procedure-specific supplies. The code shows a material mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being procured by state and local agencies under this tag.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for public safety pensions), the City of Long Beach (employee health plan surgical benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (acute and specialty care for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. No recent solicitations demonstrate procurement activity aligned with the code's stated surgical procedure scope. Given the absence of relevant opportunities, this code warrants monitoring for future activity but shows no current business development signal for firms selling spine fusion procedures or related orthopedic surgical supplies to state and local health care systems.
