UNSPSC 85716440: Fusion of cervical vertebral joint with interbody fusion device, posterior 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 interbody fusion device, posterior 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 0RG13AJ

UNSPSC 85716440 Fusion of cervical vertebral joint with interbody fusion device, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the surgical implant device specified by this code. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington involve independent medical evaluations for retirement disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for health plans, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which concern cervical fusion devices or spinal implant procurement. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the issuing agency level or a database classification error; state and local procurement of orthopedic implants typically appears under supply or equipment codes rather than procedure or clinical outcome codes.

No activity currently supports evaluation of this code for spinal device sales pursuit. Firms should verify the actual UNSPSC classification used by state and local procurement offices for orthopedic implant procurement before allocating business development resources, as the current code appears to reflect clinical procedure terminology rather than goods procurement practice.
