UNSPSC 85714816: Insertion of spacer into occipital-cervical joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0RH008Z

UNSPSC 85714816 Insertion of spacer into occipital-cervical joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not involve spinal surgical devices or procedures; instead, the sourced opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations concern orthopedic implants, surgical instrumentation, or the specific cervical spine intervention the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual opportunities posted suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code is not actively used in state and local procurement for its intended purpose. Without recent opportunities genuinely soliciting occipital-cervical spacer insertion services or related spinal hardware, there is no meaningful basis to characterize issuing-body patterns, geographic distribution, or contract volume under this code in the current state and local market.
