UNSPSC 85714968: Inspection of occipital-cervical joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to inspection of 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 0RJ03ZZ

UNSPSC 85714968 Inspection of occipital-cervical joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific medical diagnostic procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear little connection to that clinical definition. Instead, the code shows activity in occupational health surveillance, disability evaluation services, employee health benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary medical staffing—a collection of health services procurement that spans employee health programs, injury and disability assessment, and clinical workforce augmentation rather than a discrete spinal diagnostic service.

The issuing bodies represent diverse state and local sectors: city retirement offices and pension boards (Phoenix), municipal employee health programs (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), and county employee benefit administration (Collier County). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with recent activity dispersed across multiple jurisdictions rather than concentrated in a single region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, response due October 16, 2026, five-year maximum contract value $750,000); the Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, response due October 9, 2026, two-year term with renewal options); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, response due October 7, 2026, multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work). The code's tagging reflects broad-spectrum health services procurement rather than the specific spinal inspection procedure the nominal code name suggests.
