UNSPSC 85716853 Fusion of thoracic vertebral joint with synthetic substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this code. The recent opportunities show no medical device procurement, implant procedures, or spinal surgery services; instead, issuers are buying occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence network services, and temporary health professional staffing. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification that does not align with state and local procurement patterns in the available data. No concrete evidence supports active procurement of the specific surgical procedure named in the code.

The source records show activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington driven by diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee benefits departments (Long Beach), county health systems and procurement offices (Santa Clara, Collier, Harris), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026, and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal scope.
