UNSPSC 85714936: Reposition occipital-cervical joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition 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 0RS03ZZ

UNSPSC 85714936, Reposition occipital-cervical joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that reflects a mismatch between its clinical procedure classification and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical intervention on the spine, but the six recent opportunities tagged to this code solicitate occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out network management, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve occipital-cervical joint repositioning. The tagged opportunities span independent medical evaluation services, occupational health examinations, hospital network curation, pharmacy administration, temporary clinical staffing placement, and emergency inpatient care, indicating either systematic misclassification in the source data or use of this code as a catch-all for health-services procurement unrelated to the code's stated procedure.

Recent activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issuing an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation seeking occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach requesting proposals for surgical benefit carve-out networks due October 7, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026; Collier County seeking pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending near $8.7 million; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issuing an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services. The code shows no coherent procurement pattern and appears unsuitable for business development targeting—the tagged opportunities do not align with its clinical scope, and a vendor pursuing this code would lack clear guidance on what state and local agencies actually need.
