UNSPSC 85715130: Supplement occipital-cervical joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement occipital-cervical joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0RU04JZ

UNSPSC 85715130 Supplement occipital-cervical joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a spinal fusion surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect instead a mix of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention medical services, surgical benefit carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve spinal hardware or surgical implants. The mismatch suggests either a data-taxonomy error in how opportunities were tagged or that this code is not actively used by state and local buyers to solicit surgical supplies or implant services. Issuing bodies in the recent block span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a city retirement system (Phoenix Retirement Office), but none of the opportunities actually procure orthopedic surgical devices, synthetic joint components, or endoscopic procedure supplies.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West Coast (Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas), but the opportunities are too divergent in scope to characterize as a coherent market for this code's stated commodity. Recent posts include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026). None address spinal implants or orthopedic surgical procedures. Given this disconnect, pursuit of this code as a vehicle for marketing spinal fusion devices or related surgical supplies to state and local buyers is not recommended without first confirming whether the tagging error will be corrected or whether the code is being repurposed systemically.
