UNSPSC 85716435: Fusion of cervical vertebral joint with nonautologous 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 cervical vertebral joint with nonautologous 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 0RG13K1

UNSPSC 85716435 (Fusion of cervical vertebral joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under recent postings tagged to it. The recent opportunities show no procurement activity related to cervical spine fusion procedures or surgical implants. Instead, the code's recent-opportunities block contains six postings spanning independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which align with the code's nominal surgical procedure scope. This mismatch signals either data-quality issues in the tagging system or administrative misclassification of opportunities at the posting stage. The code shows little decision-relevant recent activity for vendors supplying cervical fusion products or services to state and local buyers.

No state and local procurement opportunities aligned with the cervical vertebral fusion code's stated scope appear in the source material. Pursuing this code as described would require confirming whether the code itself is actively used by state and local procurement offices for spine surgery products and implants, or whether the tagging reflects administrative error rather than sustained procurement demand. Business development professionals should verify the code's actual classification accuracy with state and local procurement offices or seek recent opportunities posted under spine surgery or orthopedic implant codes before committing resources to this category.
