UNSPSC 85716815: Fusion of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with autologous tissue substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with autologous tissue substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0RGA470

UNSPSC 85716815 (Fusion of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with autologous tissue substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous endoscopic approach) is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefits programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve spinal fusion procedures or surgical implants. The mismatch indicates either a classification error in the source data or that this code sees no meaningful state and local procurement activity for its stated scope.

The six opportunities shown do not support a coherent purchasing pattern under this Commodity code. Activity appears across Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for disability medical evaluations, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach HR26753 surgical benefit carve-out RFP, due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing pool, due October 7, 2026), Washington (WSDOT occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP, due April 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope — spinal fusion implants — bears no relation to what state and local buyers are actually purchasing under this classification, readers should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes and verify correct code assignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
