UNSPSC 85715706: Release cervicothoracic vertebral joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release cervicothoracic 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 0RN40ZZ

UNSPSC 85715706 Release cervicothoracic vertebral joint, open approach is a Commodity code with little recent activity in state and local procurement. The source records show no state or local government solicitations actually seeking cervicothoracic vertebral joint release procedures or surgical services under this code. The six recent state and local contract opportunities identified were tagged under this code but address unrelated services: independent medical evaluation and disability record summarization, surgical benefit carve-out administration, occupational medical surveillance, hospital emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These opportunities span health services administration, benefits consulting, and clinical staffing—none involve orthopedic or cervical spine surgery procurement.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either coding error at the source jurisdiction or that state and local governments do not procure cervicothoracic release procedures through competitive solicitation under this UNSPSC taxonomy. Buyers pursuing this code should verify category relevance with the issuing procurement office before investing in response preparation.
