UNSPSC 85715640: Repair cervical vertebral joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair cervical vertebral joint, 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 0RQ10ZZ

UNSPSC 85715640 Repair cervical vertebral joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical procedure scope and the state and local opportunities actually posted under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code involve occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out management, and independent medical evaluation services — none of which involve surgical repair of cervical vertebral joints. The mismatch suggests either a systematic classification error in how this code is being applied by issuing bodies, or that the code's use in state and local procurement has diverged substantially from its UNSPSC definition. The issuing bodies represented are primarily municipal and county government entities, including the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and the County of Santa Clara — a mix of city administration, county human resources and health systems, and state transportation authorities.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and Pacific Northwest, with posted opportunities from Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington between mid-August and mid-September 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) valued at $750,000 over five years for disability medical record review and physician examination scheduling; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry terminals; and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) offering Centers of Excellence networks for orthopedic, spine, cardiac, and oncology procedures. The code's recent activity does not reflect actual cervical vertebral repair procurement and warrants verification of classification accuracy before pursuit.
