UNSPSC 85716439: Fusion of cervical vertebral joint with synthetic substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of cervical vertebral joint with synthetic 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 0RG13J0

UNSPSC 85716439 Fusion of cervical vertebral joint with synthetic substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that bears no alignment to recent state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—cervical spine fusion with synthetic implant—yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to surgical procedures or implant procurement. Instead, they span independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical carve-out benefit administration for employees, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. This mismatch indicates either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems that posted these opportunities or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these jurisdictions tag their health-services solicitations.

The issuing bodies are geographically dispersed across multiple states and include counties (Collier County, Florida; Santa Clara County, California; Harris County, Texas), cities (Phoenix, Arizona; Long Beach, California), and state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). None of these opportunities involve procurement of medical devices, implants, or surgical-procedure-specific services. Given the complete absence of opportunities that match the code's stated scope, this code shows no current relevant activity for vendors providing cervical fusion services or related surgical implants to state and local governments.
