UNSPSC 85725957: Fusion of lumbar vertebral joint with synthetic substitute, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous endoscopic 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, anterior column, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0SG04JJ

UNSPSC 85725957 Fusion of lumbar vertebral joint with synthetic substitute, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code showing no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific spinal fusion surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The opportunities in the recent-opportunities block cover independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing services. None of these solicitations involve the procurement of spinal fusion procedures, surgical implants, or related operative services as a state or local purchase category.

State and local procurement offices do not typically acquire surgical procedures themselves through open bidding processes; such services are secured through health plan administration, managed-care networks, or provider contracts managed by benefits consultants or third-party administrators. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure descriptor and the actual buying patterns in the opportunities block suggests either a tagging error in the state procurement database or that this code is not actively used for state and local procurement at present. Organizations pursuing work under this code should verify directly with issuing bodies whether they are actively soliciting related services, or consider whether the code captures health plan administration, medical management, or provider network services as an alternative fit.
