This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of thoracic vertebral joint with nonautologous 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 0RG64KJ

UNSPSC 85716849, Fusion of thoracic vertebral joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve spinal fusion procedures or surgical devices; instead, they cover independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical care networks, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. The mismatch between the code's surgical procedure name and the actual work being solicited—all administrative, clinical support, and benefit management services—suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this code is being applied to state and local procurement activities far removed from its intended use.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county health systems (County of Santa Clara), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and special health consortia (Collier County Health Care Consortium). Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). No opportunities under this code involve the spinal surgical procedures the Commodity designation nominally describes.
