UNSPSC 85714751: Repair occipital-cervical joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 0RQ00ZZ

UNSPSC 85714751 Repair occipital-cervical joint, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local procurement opportunities tagged under it do not reflect surgical services or orthopedic repair work. Instead, the opportunities solicited represent healthcare administration, pharmacy management, and medical direction services for county government agencies and public health systems. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being procured suggests that this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors offering the orthopedic surgical services the code name implies. State and local procurement offices have evidently applied this code to broader healthcare contracting activity, or the tagging reflects a data-entry error rather than a meaningful procurement signal under the code's intended taxonomy.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies. Muscogee County (Georgia) posted an RFP in April 2026 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, with a May 15, 2026 response deadline and current monthly costs of $95,537.71. Collier County (Florida) issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services for approximately 7,200 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million, due April 9, 2026. Monroe County (Florida) posted an RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services effective October 1, 2026, with proposals due April 16, 2026. Additional opportunities include San Mateo County (California) mental health peer support services and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California) medical director services. The code's application to these disparate healthcare services—inmate medicine, PBM administration, telemedicine, peer counseling, and medical direction—demonstrates that the taxonomy assignment does not align with orthopedic surgical repair, and business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether they are targeting the correct UNSPSC classification for healthcare contracting work.
