UNSPSC 85716937: Fusion of cervical vertebral joint with synthetic 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 cervical vertebral joint with synthetic 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 0RG14JJ

UNSPSC 85716937 Fusion of cervical vertebral joint with synthetic substitute, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code across Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida solicitations address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve fusion procedures or orthopedic implants. The code appears to be a clinical classification that state and local procurement systems have misapplied to administrative, staffing, and benefit-management contracts rather than to surgical procedures or medical devices. State and local governments do not appear to be purchasing fusion procedures or related implant services as line items through RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB vehicles; such services typically flow through health plan benefit carve-outs, hospital networks, or employee health plan administration rather than through direct procurement.

The issuing bodies in the tagged opportunities — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — are procuring administrative health services and staffing, not implant-based surgical procedures. Without concrete evidence of state and local governments soliciting fusion procedures or related orthopedic implants under this code, pursue activity elsewhere or monitor the code for future corrections to the taxonomy mapping by procurement offices.
