UNSPSC 85714916: Revision of synthetic substitute in occipital-cervical joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in occipital-cervical joint, percutaneous 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 0RW03JZ

UNSPSC 85714916 Revision of synthetic substitute in occipital-cervical joint, percutaneous approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a highly specialized orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code procure medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve revision of occipital-cervical joint implants. The mismatch between the code's technical scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a cataloging error or a systematic misclassification of healthcare administrative and staffing services under this surgical procedure code.

The opportunities do span multiple issuing bodies and states — Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Police Pension Board (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) — with response dates ranging from September through October 2026. However, because none of these solicitations concern occipital-cervical joint revision procedures, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors in orthopedic implant manufacturing, surgical instrumentation, or procedure-specific services. Firms pursuing state and local healthcare procurement should cross-reference other UNSPSC codes to identify properly classified opportunities for medical devices, surgical services, or health professional staffing.
