UNSPSC 85715631: Replacement of cervical vertebral joint with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of cervical vertebral joint 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 0RR10JZ

UNSPSC 85715631 Replacement of cervical vertebral joint with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal state and local procurement activity aligned with its surgical procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code describe medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical center-of-excellence networks, emergency medical care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve spinal implants, surgical hardware, or orthopedic device procurement. The code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being solicited by state and local buyers under this tag.

No recent state and local contract opportunities for cervical vertebral joint synthetic implants or related surgical devices appear in the source material. The mismatch between the code's medical device classification and the recent opportunities (which span administrative medical services, benefits administration, and temporary clinical staffing) suggests either systematic mistagging in the issuing bodies' procurement systems or that state and local governments procure such surgical implants through different UNSPSC classifications, group purchasing agreements, or healthcare system internal supply channels rather than through open competitive solicitations. A vendor pursuing work in spinal implants, orthopedic devices, or surgical hardware for state and local healthcare systems should verify current tagging practices with individual issuing bodies and consider whether this code reflects active procurement opportunity.
