UNSPSC 85715219: Fusion of occipital-cervical joint with synthetic substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of occipital-cervical joint with synthetic substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, 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 0RG04J0

UNSPSC 85715219 Fusion of occipital-cervical joint with synthetic substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific spinal fusion surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code address occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and surgical carve-out benefit programs — none of which align with the procedural scope the code name suggests. This mismatch indicates either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code has been repurposed in state and local procurement systems in ways that diverge substantially from its clinical definition.

The opportunities that do appear under this code span multiple issuing bodies and geographies: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record review and independent medical examinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program management), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties), and Collier County (pharmacy benefit management). Response dates range from September 2026 through April 2026, with contract values ranging from approximately $8.7 million annually (Collier County pharmacy services) to $750,000 over five years (Phoenix disability evaluations). Given the absence of procedures matching the code's procedural name and the diversity of health services actually being procured, this code does not represent a cohesive procurement opportunity category for vendors in spinal fusion or orthopedic implant supply.
