UNSPSC 85716840: Fusion of 2 to 7 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 2 to 7 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 0RG74AJ

UNSPSC 85716840 Fusion of 2 to 7 thoracic vertebral joints with interbody fusion device, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its procedural code name and the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities reflect broad health and medical services procurement — independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which correspond to spine fusion procedures or surgical devices. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, municipal health departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, and regional health systems, with no repeat buyers in the sample.

Geographic activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). The recent opportunities do not support a coherent procurement pattern under this code. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code's specific procedural designation and the administrative and operational health services actually being solicited suggests that either the code was incorrectly applied to these opportunities or the code experiences minimal activity in state and local procurement for its intended scope.
