UNSPSC 85716428: Fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints with autologous tissue substitute, 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 autologous tissue 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 0RG237J

UNSPSC 85716428 Fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints with autologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure nomenclature and the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve cervical fusion surgery or orthopedic procedural interventions.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation). The issuing bodies are diverse: city retirement boards, county health systems and procurement offices, and state transportation authorities. No vendor names, contract values linked to the code, or repeat buyers under this specific code appear in the source. The code exhibits no discernible recent state and local procurement activity aligned with cervical spine fusion procedures; the tagging mismatch suggests either a data classification error or an artifact of how state procurement systems apply medical procedure codes to health plan administration and occupational health contracts.
