UNSPSC 85714739: Reposition occipital-cervical joint with internal fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition occipital-cervical joint 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 0RS004Z

UNSPSC 85714739 Reposition occipital-cervical joint with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving cervical spine fusion hardware—does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity the code has captured. The recent opportunities tagged under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve occipital-cervical joint repositioning or orthopedic implant procurement. The mismatch suggests either a data tagging error in the state and local procurement system or that this Commodity code is being used as a catch-all for medical services procurement more broadly, a practice that obscures true transactional volume and intent under the code's nominal scope.

The recent opportunities originating under this code span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluations due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for specialty medical services due September 25, 2026), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners RFP for pharmacy benefit management services). Issuing bodies include county governments, municipal health and retirement offices, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile justice departments. Given the absence of any recent solicitation for the procedure the code nominally describes, this code shows little relevant activity for firms pursuing occipital-cervical spine surgery or related orthopedic implant opportunities.
