UNSPSC 85724948: Fusion of 2 or more lumbar vertebral joints with autologous tissue substitute, posterior 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 autologous tissue substitute, posterior 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 0SG107J

UNSPSC 85724948 Fusion of 2 or more lumbar vertebral joints with autologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, anterior column, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal relevance to the procedure the code nominally describes. The opportunities instead reflect broader occupational health, benefits administration, medical staffing, and pharmacy management services. The code appears to be a tagging mismatch rather than an active procurement category for spine fusion procedures; state and local governments do not routinely solicit spine surgery services under discrete UNSPSC procedure codes.

The recent opportunities instead cluster around occupational medicine examinations, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, temporary health professional staffing, pharmacy benefit management, and surgical carve-out networks. Issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and state departments of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation). The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) represent the most concrete recent activity. Geographic spread spans California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida. Given the procedural specificity of the UNSPSC code and the absence of any spine fusion or orthopedic surgical services in the recent opportunities block, this code warrants skipping unless your pipeline includes direct relationships with state or local healthcare systems procuring surgical procedures as discrete line items—an uncommon occurrence in state and local contracting.
