UNSPSC 85714838: Fusion of occipital-cervical joint with interbody fusion device, posterior approach, anterior column, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of occipital-cervical joint with interbody fusion device, posterior approach, anterior 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 0RG00AJ

UNSPSC 85714838, Fusion of occipital-cervical joint with interbody fusion device, posterior approach, anterior column, open approach, is a Commodity code with little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical implant procedure, but the six recent opportunities tagged to it span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve occipital-cervical fusion devices or direct procurement of surgical implants or procedures. The mismatch suggests the code is being misapplied in state and local procurement systems, or the tagging reflects administrative classification rather than the goods or services actually being bought.

The recent opportunities do reflect state and local healthcare administration and workforce support across multiple jurisdictions and issuing-body types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record review and independent examinations), City of Long Beach (surgical benefit plan carve-out), Washington State Department of Transportation / Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic concentration spans Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida. Because the code's nominal scope and actual recent activity do not align, business development professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before committing resources to opportunities tagged to this code.
