UNSPSC 85715157 Removal of interbody fusion device from occipital-cervical joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The six most recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not involve surgical removal of interbody fusion devices. Instead, they encompass independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The code appears to have been applied to medical and healthcare-adjacent services broadly rather than to the specific orthopedic surgical procedure its name describes, indicating either miscoding or use of the code as a catch-all for health services procurement that does not map to the code's intended commodity scope.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipalities, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, county health systems, and county commissioners' offices across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The geographic spread reflects activity in the Southwest, West Coast, and South, with no concentration in any single state. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 maximum over five years); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit programs due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026. Firms pursuing this code should note the mismatch between its stated scope and actual procurement activity and verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities.
