UNSPSC 85716828: Fusion of 8 or more thoracic vertebral joints with autologous tissue substitute, 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 autologous tissue substitute, 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 0RG847J

UNSPSC 85716828, Fusion of 8 or more thoracic vertebral joints with autologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity), shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under or near this code do not align with orthopedic spinal fusion services. Instead, the recent solicitations tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out benefits—none of which involve the particular vertebral fusion procedure the code names. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this specific procedural code does not reflect active state and local contracting in the regions currently posting opportunities.

The recent opportunities themselves span diverse issuing bodies and geographies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response deadline of October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFB for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026; Collier County (Florida) posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara County Health System (California) solicited temporary health professional staffing. While these reflect active state and local healthcare procurement, none directly address spinal fusion procedures or implant-related orthopedic contracting.
