UNSPSC 85716432: Fusion of cervical vertebral joint, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of cervical vertebral joint, 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 0RG13Z1

UNSPSC 85716432, Fusion of cervical vertebral joint, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a surgical procedure—a specific orthopedic spinal fusion technique performed on patients—yet the six recent opportunities posted across state, county, and municipal agencies between July and September 2026 solicit medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out network management. None of these solicitations involve the procurement or contracting for spinal fusion procedures themselves or related intraoperative or perioperative supplies.

The mismatch between code name and actual buying activity indicates this code shows little relevant recent procurement opportunity for vendors in the spinal surgery or orthopedic device space. Issuers across Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation) are tagged with this commodity code, but their scope targets intermediary services such as independent medical evaluations, managed care networks, pharmacy administration, and temporary clinical staffing rather than surgical procedures or implantable devices. State and local procurement professionals should verify code assignment with each issuing body before pursuing opportunities under this code, as the posting pattern suggests misclassification rather than genuine demand for cervical vertebral fusion procurement.
