UNSPSC 85715626: Replacement of cervicothoracic vertebral joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of cervicothoracic vertebral joint with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0RR407Z

UNSPSC 85715626 Replacement of cervicothoracic vertebral joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for spinal fusion using autologous tissue, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it involve occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefits — none of which involve vertebral joint replacement or the specific procedure the code names. State and local buyers appear to be using this code as a catch-all classification for broader healthcare and medical services procurement rather than for the specialized orthopedic procedure the code technically describes.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunity block span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, via Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and their respective public agencies. Geographic spread includes Washington, Texas, California, Arizona, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) seeking physician-supervised medical examinations across 14 ferry locations; the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit applications at $750,000 over five years; and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive temporary health professional staffing solicitation (due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code's recent activity does not reflect actual procurement of the vertebral joint replacement procedure it nominally identifies.
