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 0PQ3XZZ

UNSPSC 85692512 Repair cervical vertebra, external approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the state and local opportunities posted under it. The six recent solicitations span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations (City of Phoenix Pension Boards), surgical procedure carve-out networks (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty inpatient care for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these opportunities involve cervical vertebra repair or spine surgery. The code appears to have been applied in error or is inactive in the state and local procurement market represented by the available opportunities.

No recent state and local procurement activity directly relevant to cervical vertebra repair services is evident from the posted opportunities. The posting pattern suggests the UNSPSC code may not currently drive state and local contracting decisions in this area, or the opportunities available have been misclassified. Business development firms should verify the correct code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing this commodity classification.
