UNSPSC 85714833: Fusion of occipital-cervical joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of occipital-cervical joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, 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 0RG00K1

UNSPSC 85714833 (Fusion of occipital-cervical joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, open approach) is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for spinal fusion, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which relate to spinal fusion surgery or orthopedic implants. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or a systematic misapplication of the code to unrelated health services procurement.

The recent opportunities show instead that state and local health-sector procurement is concentrated in benefits administration, occupational health services, and temporary staffing. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit management due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFB for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The code shows little to no relevant recent activity for actual spinal fusion procedures or related orthopedic implant procurement under state and local contracting.
