UNSPSC 85714940: Repair occipital-cervical joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 0RQ03ZZ

UNSPSC 85714940 Repair occipital-cervical joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific spinal surgical procedure—does not align with the actual work being solicited under this code number in state and local markets. Recent opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect broader health services procurement spanning independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, and pharmacy benefit management—none of which are surgical procedures and only tangentially related to orthopedic or spinal care.

The recent activity under this code comes from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice departments, county boards of commissioners, and county health systems. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. The mismatch between the code's surgical procedure name and the health services management work actually being procured suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code should be reviewed for alignment with how it is being used in practice.
