UNSPSC 85715944: Fusion of cervical vertebral joint 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 cervical vertebral joint 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 0RG1071

UNSPSC 85715944 Fusion of cervical vertebral joint with autologous tissue substitute, posterior approach, posterior column, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not match surgical spine fusion services; instead, they span independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health staffing, and emergency detention facility medicine. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification anomaly or incidental tagging of health-administration and staffing services with a procedure-specific code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation and health departments (Washington Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation), and county government (Santa Clara County, Collier County). Activity is geographically dispersed across California, Washington, Arizona, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits with a response date of October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026. None of these solicitations align with spinal fusion surgery procurement, and business development professionals should verify code assignment with their procurement contacts before pursuing activity under this Commodity code.
