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 0RW1XJZ

UNSPSC 85715346 Revision of synthetic substitute in cervical vertebral joint, external approach is a Commodity code with minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations show no activity related to cervical spine implant revision or replacement services. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit program administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve orthopedic implant revision or surgical placement of synthetic cervical spine devices. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or a jurisdictional quirk in how this code has been applied to procurement activity.

The recent opportunities are issued by a mix of municipal pension boards, city health authorities, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation and county commissioners' offices, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out program administration for its Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026, with contract execution targeted April 1, 2027), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 covered members with historical annual spending around $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026). None of these transactions fall within the code's stated scope of cervical spine implant revision.
