UNSPSC 85714767 Removal of synthetic substitute from occipital-cervical joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect broader health benefit administration and occupational medical services rather than orthopedic surgical procedures — specifically independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical carve-out networks, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing placement. The issuing bodies span city retirement boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation agencies, indicating the code is being applied across heterogeneous procurement categories rather than orthopedic surgical care itself.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing services due October 7, 2026. The mismatch between the code's surgical nomenclature and the actual work being procured suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or application of a medical procedure taxonomy to administrative and occupational health contracting — either scenario signals that pursuing opportunities under this code requires close verification against the actual RFP scope rather than reliance on the UNSPSC descriptor.
