This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement cervical vertebral disc with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85715571 Supplement cervical vertebral disc with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific spinal surgical procedure—does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The recent opportunities reflect a broad range of health care purchasing activity: occupational and disability medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve cervical disc supplementation or related orthopedic implant procurement. The issuing bodies include city retirement boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice authorities, and health care consortia across multiple jurisdictions and service lines.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington State Ferries locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its stated surgical procedure scope and appears to be a classification mismatch within the procurement system.
