UNSPSC 85716821: Fusion of 8 or more thoracic vertebral joints with nonautologous 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 8 or more thoracic vertebral joints with nonautologous 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 0RG84K0

UNSPSC 85716821 (Fusion of 8 or more thoracic vertebral joints with nonautologous 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 code, but the recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in detention—none of which relate to spinal fusion procedures or the surgical implant-related work the code nominally addresses. This represents a clear mismatch between the code's clinical scope and actual buying activity.

The source contains no recent opportunities for spinal fusion procedures, implants, or related surgical services from state and local bodies. The code shows little relevant procurement activity in the state and local market and does not warrant pursuit based on the available record.
