This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints with synthetic substitute, anterior 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 0RG24J0

UNSPSC 85716924, Fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints with synthetic substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit management carve-outs, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, and emergency and inpatient hospital services — none of which align with the specific surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch between the code's surgical nomenclature and the health services and staffing work being solicited suggests either systematic misclassification in the procurement systems tagging these opportunities or a fundamental disconnect between UNSPSC medical-procedure codes and how state and local governments actually classify healthcare contracting.

The issuing bodies range widely across state departments, county health systems, municipalities, and detention authorities: the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office; the City of Long Beach; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department; Collier County Board of County Commissioners; and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 reflect demand for occupational health services (Washington State Ferries medical surveillance), pension disability evaluations (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), hospital carve-out surgical networks (Long Beach), county pharmacy benefit management (Collier County, approximately $8.7 million annually), temporary clinical staffing across multiple specialties (Santa Clara County), and inpatient and specialty care for detained youth (Harris County). Given the code's stated scope and the absence of recent opportunities actually soliciting cervical fusion procedures or surgical implants, this code shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity.
