UNSPSC 85716441: Fusion of cervical vertebral joint with interbody fusion device, 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 interbody fusion device, 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 0RG13A1

UNSPSC 85716441 Fusion of cervical vertebral joint with interbody fusion device, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal orthopedic surgical scope. The recent solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of spinal fusion devices or implants. Instead, state and local issuing bodies are posting opportunities for disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve the purchase or implantation of cervical vertebral fusion devices. This mismatch suggests either taxonomic miscoding in the posting systems or that the code is not in active use for its intended commodity category within state and local government procurement right now.

The geographic spread of recent activity under this code spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies ranging from municipal departments to county health systems and state transportation agencies. No concrete evidence of recent opportunities specifically seeking cervical fusion devices, spine implants, or related orthopedic hardware exists in the source material. Until state and local procurement offices tag spine-surgery implant buys to this code, or the taxonomy is corrected in vendor systems, this code presents limited visibility for suppliers of cervical vertebral fusion devices pursuing state and local contracts.
