UNSPSC 85716945: Fusion of cervical vertebral joint with autologous tissue substitute, anterior 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 autologous tissue 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 0RG1470

UNSPSC 85716945 (Fusion of cervical vertebral joint with autologous tissue substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous endoscopic approach) is a Commodity code that carries a surgical procedure classification, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it bear no relationship to the code's clinical scope. The opportunities instead address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve spinal fusion procedures or orthopedic surgery. This mismatch suggests the code shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its nominal definition.

The six opportunities in the source span multiple issuing bodies—city retirement offices (Phoenix), city health departments and employee benefits programs (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation and commissioners' offices (Harris County, Collier County)—and geographic coverage across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. However, none of these opportunities actually procure spinal fusion services, surgical implants, or orthopedic procedures. The code appears to be a data-classification artifact rather than an active procurement vehicle for state and local governments.
