UNSPSC 85715224: Fusion of occipital-cervical joint with autologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, posterior 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, posterior 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 0RG0471

UNSPSC 85715224 Fusion of occipital-cervical joint with autologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific spinal fusion surgical procedure, but the six recent state and local opportunities tagged under it cover independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the code's stated scope of a single surgical technique. This represents a significant mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and the work actually being solicited.

The opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county probation departments. The code lacks coherent recent activity suitable for pursuit under its nominal definition.
