UNSPSC 85715924: Fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints with synthetic substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints with synthetic substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, 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 0RG20J0

UNSPSC 85715924 Fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints with synthetic substitute, anterior approach, anterior column, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure (anterior cervical fusion), but recent opportunities tagged under this code diverge sharply and do not reflect orthopedic spine surgery procurement. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code cover medical staffing, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, retirement disability medical evaluations, and surgical carve-out benefit programs — none of which align with the purchase or provision of cervical fusion implants or related surgical services. The mismatch between the code's technical definition and the actual work being solicited suggests this code may be incorrectly applied in state and local procurement systems or reflects data-entry inconsistency in the source system.

The six recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington and include RFPs from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office for disability medical record review and examination scheduling (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach for surgical carve-out benefit administration (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation for occupational medical surveillance (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department for emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners for pharmacy benefit management (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the consistent mismatch between code definition and solicitation content, the code does not represent a viable market segment for cervical spine surgery vendors or related orthopedic device suppliers.
