UNSPSC 85715131: Supplement occipital-cervical joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement occipital-cervical joint with autologous tissue 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 0RU047Z

UNSPSC 85715131 Supplement occipital-cervical joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, Commodity tier, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure code for spinal fusion, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—address administrative and clinical support functions with no direct connection to orthopedic spinal implant procurement or surgical procedures. No state or local government entity has posted a recent solicitation for the implants, devices, or related surgical supplies the code's technical name describes.

This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied in the source data or reflects a cataloging error rather than active procurement demand. Firms seeking spinal implant, orthopedic device, or surgical procedure opportunities should verify that their target market is actually using this UNSPSC code for contracting purposes before investing in pursuit strategy under it. The administrative and clinical services solicitations appearing in the recent-opportunities block—including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026)—fall outside orthopedic implant and device procurement scope and should not be used to forecast demand for this Commodity code.
