UNSPSC 85725442: Fusion of 2 or more lumbar vertebral joints with synthetic substitute, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous 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 synthetic substitute, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous 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 0SG13JJ

UNSPSC 85725442, Fusion of 2 or more lumbar vertebral joints with synthetic substitute, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach (Commodity), shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code — ranging from independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations to pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary health professional staffing — are administrative and clinical support functions rather than orthopedic surgical procedures or implant procurement. The code appears to have been misapplied to these solicitations; state and local governments do not systematically buy specific surgical procedures or implant devices through formal RFPs, RFQs, or other competitive procurement notices indexed to procedure-specific UNSPSC codes.

Geographic activity spanning Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County), Washington State (WSDOT), and Texas (Harris County) reflects general healthcare administration across multiple jurisdictions, but this activity does not constitute relevant procurement under the code's intended scope. Parties evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for state and local business development purposes and investigate whether the coding system has properly indexed spine-surgery implants and related capital or supply procurement within their target markets.
