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 0RJ1XZZ

UNSPSC 85715452 Inspection of cervical vertebral joint, external approach is a Commodity code that in practice shows no recent alignment with state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code—including independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve medical evaluation, diagnostic procedures, and healthcare administration broadly, but do not reflect the specific orthopedic diagnostic imaging or cervical spine examination procedures the code's title nominally describes. The issuing bodies span municipal retirement offices, city employee health benefits programs, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice systems, county human resources divisions, and county health systems, indicating fragmentation across administrative and clinical functions rather than concentration in any single jurisdiction type or agency mission.

Recent opportunities show activity in Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with solicitations posted between late July and mid-September 2026 and response deadlines between early October and mid-October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a five-year contract maximum of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a two-year term and optional five-year extensions; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026 establishing a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool. The code's nominal scope and recent procurement activity remain misaligned; firms pursuing opportunities in this code should verify that individual solicitations match their service capabilities rather than relying on the code title alone.
