UNSPSC 85692510: Reposition cervical vertebra, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition cervical vertebra, external 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 0PS3XZZ

UNSPSC 85692510 Reposition cervical vertebra, external approach (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement records as a miscoded diagnostic tag applied to medical and health administrative services rather than surgical procedures. The recent opportunities tied to this code involve occupational medical examinations, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgery care networks, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which align with cervical spine repositioning. The mismatch reflects how state and local procurement systems sometimes apply UNSPSC codes that do not match the actual scope of work being solicited. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement boards, county health systems, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, and health benefit consortiums. This code shows no relevant recent activity for cervical vertebra procedures and should not be pursued as a meaningful procurement category in state and local markets.

The geographic distribution of the misaligned opportunities spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth due September 25, 2026; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026. These solicitations collectively demonstrate that the code does not capture actual orthopedic or spine surgery procurement and should be disregarded in favor of verifying the correct UNSPSC classification for any targeted medical procedure work.
