UNSPSC 85715608: Reposition cervical vertebral joint with internal fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition cervical vertebral joint with internal fixation device, open 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 0RS104Z

UNSPSC 85715608, Reposition cervical vertebral joint with internal fixation device, open approach, is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect orthopedic surgery procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical Center of Excellence networks, specialty healthcare for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve cervical spine fixation devices or the surgical procedure the code names. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope; the mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or incidental use of this Commodity code for administrative or contract-management purposes unrelated to the underlying clinical service.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities appears dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with issuing bodies including city retirement systems, county health departments, state transportation agencies, and health systems. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (posted September 16, 2026; due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (posted August 25, 2026; due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (posted July 7, 2026; due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, this code does not warrant focused pursuit; vendors offering cervical spine implants or surgical instrumentation should verify actual procurement needs before investing in pursuit.
