UNSPSC 85724941: Fusion of 2 or more lumbar vertebral joints with nonautologous tissue substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of 2 or more lumbar vertebral joints with nonautologous tissue substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, open 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 0SG10K0

UNSPSC 85724941 Fusion of 2 or more lumbar vertebral joints with nonautologous tissue substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure for spinal fusion, but the recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which align with procurement of the orthopedic procedure itself. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in the source data or that this code is being used to tag broader healthcare contracting rather than the specific spinal fusion procedure the code name describes.

State and local issuers posting under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP 25-8414, closed April 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing, RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in a single state. Absent a correction in the code assignment, this commodity code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for state and local buyers purchasing or contracting for spinal fusion procedures or related orthopedic surgical services.
