UNSPSC 85716425: Fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints with interbody fusion device, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints with interbody fusion device, 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 0RG23AJ

UNSPSC 85716425, Fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints with interbody fusion device, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—including independent medical evaluation services for pension-board disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System)—do not align with the code's nominal scope of a specific surgical fusion procedure. These solicitations represent clinical management, staffing, and benefits administration services rather than procurement of the spine fusion procedure itself.

State and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect demand for the specific surgical intervention the code describes. The mismatch suggests either that jurisdictions do not procure this procedure through UNSPSC coding in their contract management systems, or that the code has been applied in error to administrative and clinical-staffing opportunities unrelated to orthopedic spine fusion. Without evidence of actual procedure-level procurement, device sourcing, or clinical-service bundling tied to this intervention in recent state or local solicitations, the code presents no actionable buying signal for firms in the spine surgery device or procedure-specific service space.
