This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of occipital-cervical joint with synthetic 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 0RG00J1

UNSPSC 85714836 Fusion of occipital-cervical joint with synthetic substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal orthopedic surgical procedure scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect medical administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing services — none of which concern surgical fusion procedures or implantable devices. This represents a significant mismatch between the code's intended scope and what state and local agencies are actually procuring under it.

The few opportunities tagged to this code originate from diverse issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county juvenile justice departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation), and county commissioners' offices (Collier County). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington with no discernible concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeking occupational health examinations across 14 ferry terminals, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability medical record summarization and psychiatric examination coordination. The code shows minimal purchasing activity relevant to its stated clinical purpose, making pursuit under this particular taxonomy unlikely to align with actual state and local procurement patterns for fusion procedures or related surgical devices.
