UNSPSC 85715024: Fusion of occipital-cervical joint with autologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of occipital-cervical joint with autologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, 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 0RG0371

UNSPSC 85715024 Fusion of occipital-cervical joint with autologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with recent state and local contract opportunities. The source records six recent solicitations across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington — covering independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, emergency services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which concern spinal fusion procedures or surgical implant supply. The UNSPSC coding appears inconsistent with the actual procurement activity indexed under this code number in state and local systems.

No state and local government procurement opportunities specifically matching the code's nominal scope of occipital-cervical fusion surgery with autologous tissue have posted recently. The mismatch between the code's clinical-procedure definition and the practical activity recorded under it suggests either a data-entry error in the indexing system or that this code does not reflect current state and local buying patterns for spinal fusion services. Firms evaluating activity under this code should verify with target jurisdictions whether they classify orthopedic surgical procedures and implants differently, or confirm whether the code has been misapplied to unrelated medical services categories.
