UNSPSC 85716825: Fusion of 8 or more thoracic vertebral joints with interbody fusion device, posterior 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 interbody fusion device, posterior 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 0RG84AJ

UNSPSC 85716825 Fusion of 8 or more thoracic vertebral joints with interbody fusion device, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are administrative healthcare services, benefit administration, occupational health programs, and workforce staffing unrelated to spinal fusion procedures or orthopedic surgery implants. The code itself describes a specific surgical procedure and device, yet the opportunities in the dataset reflect state and local government's purchase of health plan administration, medical screening, and personnel services rather than the spine surgery implant that the code nominates.

State and local procurement offices do not routinely solicit spinal fusion devices or procedures through open RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB vehicles. Such purchases typically flow through institutional group purchasing organizations (GPOs), managed care contracts, or pre-established vendor agreements with hospitals and health systems. The absence of direct surgical-device or procedure-specific solicitations under this code suggests that state and local governments procure such items through indirect channels—group purchasing agreements, health plan vendor arrangements, or standing blanket orders negotiated at the health-system level rather than at the state or municipal procurement office. A vendor targeting state and local opportunities under this code would find little direct-bid activity; pursuit should focus instead on established GPO relationships, health plan managed care contracts, and hospital supply chain partnerships where spine surgery volumes are bundled with broader orthopedic and surgical services.
