UNSPSC 85724963: Fusion of lumbar vertebral joint 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 lumbar vertebral joint 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 0SG007J

UNSPSC 85724963 Fusion of lumbar vertebral joint with autologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, anterior column, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal surgical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not represent spinal fusion services; instead, they reflect a broad mismatch between the code's technical orthopedic specificity and what state and local buyers are actually soliciting under it. The source shows no bids or RFPs for fusion procedures themselves, and the code appears to be misapplied across a range of health administration and staffing services that fall outside the code's clinical domain.

Recent opportunities under this code span independent medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-outs and Centers of Excellence networks (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). These solicitations originate from state departments, county boards, and municipal health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, but none align to spinal fusion or orthopedic surgical implant procurement. The code shows no recent activity in the orthopedic implant, surgical supply, or spine-fusion medical device markets where the Commodity code's technical name would be operationally relevant. Firms pursuing spine-fusion-related state and local contracts should verify the applicable UNSPSC code through direct contact with issuing procurement offices, as current tagging of this code does not reflect the surgical-procedure scope it nominally describes.
