UNSPSC 85715168: Inspection of occipital-cervical joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to inspection of occipital-cervical joint, 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 0RJ04ZZ

UNSPSC 85715168 Inspection of occipital-cervical joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope—a specific neurosurgical procedure. The opportunities actually solicited include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These acquisitions span occupational health, benefits administration, and clinical staffing rather than neurosurgical interventions. The issuing bodies are diverse: municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments managing employee health benefits (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county human resources and health consortium boards (Collier County), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara). The mismatch between the code name and the actual work being procured suggests either a taxonomic misclassification in the state and local data or that the code is not meaningfully used for state and local acquisition activity in this domain.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State (Washington State Ferries), with no concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year term with option to extend), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive qualified vendor pool with five-year maintenance option). The code shows little relevant recent activity; vendors should verify whether state and local procurement offices have reclassified this code or whether it remains dormant for practical purchasing purposes.
