UNSPSC 85473123: Release cervical spinal cord, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release cervical spinal cord, 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 00NW0ZZ

UNSPSC 85473123 Release cervical spinal cord, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities tagged with this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services—none of which involve surgical procedures on the spinal cord. The code appears to have been applied to these health care and behavioral health contracting opportunities in error, suggesting either a data-entry misclassification at the issuing body or a mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure scope and how some jurisdictions categorize broader health services procurement.

The recent activity does reflect meaningful state and local health services contracting across Florida, Georgia, and California, with county governments and special-purpose health authorities as the primary buyers. However, because none of the solicitations—including the Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy RFP (due May 15, 2026), the Collier County PBM services RFP (due April 9, 2026), and the Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care RFP (due April 16, 2026)—actually involve cervical spinal cord release procedures, the code does not represent a viable procurement category for vendors in that specialty. Firms pursuing this UNSPSC code should verify the actual commodity classification with issuing bodies before bid preparation.
