UNSPSC 85715223: Fusion of occipital-cervical joint with autologous tissue substitute, posterior 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 autologous tissue substitute, posterior 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 0RG047J

UNSPSC 85715223 Fusion of occipital-cervical joint with autologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, anterior column, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific spinal surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out programs, and emergency services for detained youth — none of which involve occipital-cervical fusion or spine surgery as a line item. The mismatch between the code's surgical specificity and the breadth of health services actually being solicited suggests systematic misclassification in the underlying procurement databases rather than genuine buying activity under this code's nominal scope.

State and local jurisdictions posting under this code include the City of Phoenix (medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit programs), the Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty care), Collier County (pharmacy benefits), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (responses due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (responses due October 9, 2026, evaluation scheduled for October 20, 2026), and the City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP (responses due October 7, 2026, targeting April 1, 2027 go-live). Firms evaluating this code should treat it as a classification signal error and pursue opportunities based on the actual service line (medical staffing, occupational health, pension administration, pharmacy management) rather than the surgical procedure name.
