UNSPSC 85692618: Reposition cervical vertebra with internal fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition cervical vertebra with internal fixation device, 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 0PS304Z

UNSPSC 85692618 Reposition cervical vertebra with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities associated with it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the posted solicitations under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency/inpatient services for detained youth. None of these activities involve the procurement or delivery of cervical vertebra repositioning with internal fixation devices. The mismatch suggests either a systematic classification error in the state and local procurement system or incidental mistagging of unrelated healthcare service opportunities.

The recent opportunities do reveal that multiple state, county, and municipal jurisdictions are actively procuring healthcare administrative and staffing services. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with proposals due April 9, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026; the City of Long Beach requested proposals for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence with proposals due October 7, 2026 and go-live targeted for April 1, 2027; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth with responses due September 25, 2026. Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the code itself shows little relevant recent procurement activity tied to its nominal scope.
