UNSPSC 85715929: Fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints with autologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, posterior 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 autologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, posterior 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 0RG2071

UNSPSC 85715929 Fusion of 2 or more cervical vertebral joints with autologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific spinal fusion surgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged under this code are actually for independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the surgical procedure the code nominates.

The mismatch between code definition and actual solicitation scope suggests that either the code was misapplied to these opportunities or the tagging reflects a broader administrative categorization that does not align with the narrow surgical procedure the Commodity code describes. State and local health systems, counties, and municipalities are actively soliciting medical services broadly—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical examination coordination (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System opened a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026)—but none of these opportunities involve cervical fusion procedures or related surgical case management. Pursue this code only if your firm provides occupational medicine, disability medical evaluations, or temporary health professional staffing; do not pursue it if your practice is orthopedic or spine surgery.
