UNSPSC 85716902: Fusion of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, posterior approach, posterior 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 0RG44Z1

UNSPSC 85716902 Fusion of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—covering independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—address administrative healthcare services, occupational health compliance, and workforce staffing rather than surgical procedures on cervicothoracic vertebral joints. The mismatch suggests either systematic mis-tagging in state and local procurement systems or that this surgical procedure code is not actively solicited as a distinct line item by public bodies.

Recent opportunities under this code span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas jurisdictions, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, municipal employee benefit programs, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice systems, county procurement divisions, and county health systems. No single jurisdiction or issuing body appears more than once in the recent posting block, and no opportunities reference actual spine fusion procedures, surgeon contracts, or hospital surgical services. Without evidence of aligned procurement activity, this code warrants monitoring for reclassification or correction rather than active pursuit at this time.
