UNSPSC 85716913: Fusion of cervicothoracic vertebral joint 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 cervicothoracic vertebral joint 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 0RG447J

UNSPSC 85716913, a Commodity code for fusion of cervicothoracic vertebral joint with autologous tissue substitute, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code all concern occupational health services, disability and independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the orthopedic surgical procedure this code describes. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either tagging error or use of the code as a catch-all for health services categories within these jurisdictions' procurement systems.

State and local buyers are issuing requests under this code designation from Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), but the substance of these solicitations — medical records review and disability determinations, occupational surveillance compliance, PBM administration, specialty surgical networks, and staffing pool qualification — does not correspond to orthopedic fusion procedures or implant procurement. Until the code reflects current tagging practice or solicitations materialize that genuinely require spine surgery implants or fusion services, this code presents no actionable opportunity for firms pursuing state and local medical device or surgical service contracts.
