UNSPSC 85716430: Fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints with autologous tissue substitute, anterior 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, anterior 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 0RG2370

UNSPSC 85716430, Fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints with autologous tissue substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach (Commodity), shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's medical procedure classification. The six recent solicitations tagged under this code — independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — represent administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing, not spinal fusion procedures or surgical implant-related goods and services. The mismatch suggests these state and local bodies (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara Health System) have tagged procurement opportunities with an orthopedic code that does not reflect their actual buying scope.

The code does not appear to support active state and local procurement of fusion procedures, implants, or surgical supplies at present. Business development professionals should verify whether their firm's actual service line aligns with cervical spine fusion delivery or orthopedic implant supply, and if so, clarify the disconnect with relevant procurement offices before positioning against these opportunities.
