UNSPSC 85725443: Fusion of 2 or more lumbar vertebral joints with synthetic substitute, posterior approach, posterior 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, posterior 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 0SG13J1

UNSPSC 85725443 Fusion of 2 or more lumbar vertebral joints with synthetic substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure code for lumbar fusion, but the recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve spine surgery procurement or medical device supply. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefits carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which are aligned with procurement of lumbar fusion procedures, implants, or surgical supplies. This mismatch indicates either a tagging error in the source data or that the code is not actively used by state and local buyers for its nominal scope.

No state and local contract opportunities in the source material describe actual procurement of lumbar fusion surgical services, implants, or related supplies. Vendors pursuing spine surgery or orthopedic implant sales to state and local health systems, Medicaid programs, or correctional health facilities should verify accurate UNSPSC code assignment through the relevant purchasing office and monitor alternative commodity codes within orthopedic surgery and implant supply families, rather than relying on activity under this code.
