UNSPSC 85715714: Inspection of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to inspection of 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 0RJ40ZZ

UNSPSC 85715714 Inspection of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's title references a specific surgical inspection procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it describe occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out coordination—none of which involve direct cervicothoracic vertebral inspection or surgical intervention. This mismatch suggests the code may have been misapplied to health-services solicitations that fall outside orthopedic or spine-surgical domains.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span state agencies, counties, and municipal health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (posted September 16, 2026, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit application support, the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (posted August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026). The code does not reflect a concentration of spine-surgical procurement activity and does not appear to be the appropriate taxonomy tier for business development focused on orthopedic surgical services.
