UNSPSC 85715025: Fusion of occipital-cervical joint with autologous tissue substitute, anterior approach, anterior 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, anterior approach, anterior 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 0RG0370

UNSPSC 85715025 Fusion of occipital-cervical joint with autologous tissue substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that carries a surgical procedure classification but does not align with the state and local procurement activity appearing under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for youth in custody—none of which describe the specific spinal fusion procedure named in the code's taxonomy. State and local governments are not acquiring or requesting reimbursement for this particular surgical intervention; the code appears to have been applied to general occupational health, medical benefits administration, and staffing solicitations without connection to the code's stated scope. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice agencies, representing a mix of municipal government, county administration, and state transportation operations across distinct service domains.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington State (WSDOT), and Texas (Harris County), with no geographic concentration evident. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant procurement activity; the mismatch between the code's surgical taxonomy and the occupational health and benefits administration work actually being solicited suggests either miscoding or that this particular spinal fusion procedure is not a current focus of state and local contracting.
