UNSPSC 85716260: Release cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release cervical vertebral joint, 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 0RN13ZZ

UNSPSC 85716260 Release cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific spinal surgical procedure—and the state and local opportunities currently tagged under it. The recent solicitations cover independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance programs, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve cervical vertebral joint release procedures or orthopedic spine surgery. The issuing bodies span state health agencies, county governments, municipal retirement offices, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the work being solicited bears no operational connection to the code's procedure-specific descriptor.

The source presents no recent opportunities that reflect the Commodity code's stated clinical scope. A mismatch this pronounced—where tagged opportunities range across general medical staffing, benefits administration, and facility-based surveillance rather than spine surgery procurement—suggests either systematic miscoding within state and local procurement systems or that the code sees no active demand from public-sector buying offices. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) represent the most clinical specificity in the recent block, but both concern evaluation and surveillance rather than procedural procurement. The code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors seeking spine surgery-related state and local contracts.
