UNSPSC 85714716: Revision of synthetic substitute in occipital-cervical joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in occipital-cervical joint, 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 0RW00JZ

UNSPSC 85714716 (Revision of synthetic substitute in occipital-cervical joint, open approach) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted in August and September 2026 target independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational health surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with orthopedic spinal implant procedures or surgical revision work. The code appears to be a procedural medical taxonomy entry rather than a procurement category through which state and local governments typically buy goods or services.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure) and the actual work being solicited under its tag suggests the code may have been incorrectly applied by the issuing bodies or reflects classification drift in how state procurement systems capture medical spending. Practitioners pursuing this code should verify whether state and local RFPs, RFQs, and contract opportunities will continue to tag orthopedic device or surgical procedure contracts under this Commodity code or whether those opportunities migrate to broader family-level medical supply or service codes.
