UNSPSC 85716429: Fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints with autologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, posterior 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, posterior 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 0RG2371

UNSPSC 85716429 Fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints with autologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code do not align with spinal fusion procedures. Instead, the opportunities solicited under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve surgical spinal fusion or orthopedic procedures. The mismatch suggests that the code assignment reflects a data-entry or classification error rather than actual procurement demand in the spinal fusion market.

The opportunities that are present span diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for pension boards), the City of Long Beach (surgical and medical procedure benefits for employees), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic activity appears scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with no concentration in any single jurisdiction or state. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for actual spinal fusion procurement and verify coding manually before committing bid resources.
