UNSPSC 85725458: Fusion of lumbar vertebral joint 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 lumbar vertebral joint 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 0SG03J1

UNSPSC 85725458 Fusion of lumbar vertebral joint with synthetic substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities in the recent-opportunities block—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are all administrative or operational healthcare services unrelated to lumbar vertebral fusion surgery or orthopedic implant procurement. None of the solicitations involve the purchase of spinal fusion devices, orthopedic hardware, or surgical implants.

The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving implantation of synthetic spinal fusion material—does not align with the healthcare contracting activity state and local governments are actually conducting. State and local jurisdictions procure healthcare services, benefits administration, and staffing through competitive solicitation far more frequently than they procure specific surgical implants or procedural supplies. This code would be relevant to supply contracts issued by hospitals, health systems, or surgical centers acquiring orthopedic inventory, but no such procurement appears in recent activity.
