UNSPSC 85715405: Reposition cervicothoracic vertebral joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition cervicothoracic vertebral joint, external 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 0RS4XZZ

UNSPSC 85715405 Reposition cervicothoracic vertebral joint, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—orthopedic surgical procedures on the cervical spine—does not align with recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities show no solicitations for surgical procedures or spine surgery services. Instead, the posted records reflect medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, healthcare staffing, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve spinal joint repositioning or surgical intervention. The code shows a material mismatch between its taxonomy definition and the work state and local bodies are actually buying under this tag.

Geographic activity and issuing-body mix span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), with no repeat buyer appearing across multiple recent opportunities. Recent representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System qualification pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears inactive for its stated surgical scope and should be deprioritized unless procurement notices correct the tagging to match actual spinal surgery service solicitations.
