UNSPSC 85715628: Replacement of cervical vertebral disc with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of cervical vertebral disc with synthetic 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 0RR30JZ

UNSPSC 85715628 Replacement of cervical vertebral disc with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement systems but shows no active recent solicitations for the specific surgical procedure it nominally describes. The six most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance services, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these opportunities directly concern cervical disc replacement implants or orthopedic surgical devices. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the issuing-body procurement office or that this Commodity code is being applied to a broader family of health services unrelated to the discrete procedure the code nominally specifies.

The issuing bodies are municipal and county human resources departments (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Collier County), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile detention authority (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and a regional health system (County of Santa Clara Health System). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Without recent opportunities directly matching the code's nominal scope, pursuit under this code is not advisable. Vendors in orthopedic implant distribution, surgical device supply, or healthcare provider networks should monitor this code for future activity but should not plan procurement strategy around the current opportunity set, which reflects health services administration and staffing rather than implant procurement.
