UNSPSC 85716174: Supplement cervical vertebral joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement cervical vertebral joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 0RU13KZ

UNSPSC 85716174 Supplement cervical vertebral joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure involving cervical spine fusion, but the most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not involve that scope of work. Instead, the solicitations posted under it address medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical care carve-out programs — none of which correspond to the implantation of cervical vertebral joint devices or nonautologous tissue substitutes. The mismatch suggests either a classification anomaly in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are applying this code as a broad catch-all for health-plan and occupational-medicine contracting.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum, due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) solicited surgical-procedure carve-out vendors for an Anthem Blue Cross PPO population, due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals, due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026; Collier County (Florida) solicited pharmacy benefit management services with estimated annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million, due April 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) established a multiple-award vendor pool for temporary clinical staffing in ancillary categories, due October 7, 2026. None of these opportunities involve device procurement or orthopedic implant sourcing, making this code unlikely to be a productive target for manufacturers or distributors of cervical spine products.
