UNSPSC 85714965: Release occipital-cervical joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0RN03ZZ

UNSPSC 85714965 Release occipital-cervical joint, percutaneous approach (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local contract activity posted under this code. The code nominally refers to a specific spinal surgical procedure, but the four recent opportunities in the dataset span inmate prison medical and pharmacy services, county-level pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve occipital-cervical joint procedures or surgical intervention of any kind. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source database or that this Commodity code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for the procedure it nominally describes.

The recent activity shows no relevant opportunities under this code. State and local buyers appear to be acquiring healthcare services and administration rather than orthopedic or neurosurgical procedures at the commodity level, and none of the solicitations posted (Columbus Consolidated Government's inmate medical services RFP due May 15, 2026; Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP due April 9, 2026; Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care RFP due April 16, 2026; San Mateo County's peer support services RFP due July 2, 2025; and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director RFP due October 16, 2025) involve the procedure described in the code name. This code warrants a skip pending clarification of its actual procurement use in state and local markets.
