UNSPSC 85473115: Excision of lumbar spinal cord, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of lumbar spinal cord, 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 00BY0ZZ

UNSPSC 85473115 Excision of lumbar spinal cord, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the state and local contract opportunities identified in the source. The recent opportunities solicited under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve excision of lumbar spinal cord procedures or related surgical interventions. The code's nominal scope (a specific neurosurgical procedure) does not align with the healthcare administration, care management, and behavioral health services that state and local governments are actually procuring under this classification.

The mismatch suggests either a misclassification in the underlying procurement records or that this code is not actively used for substantive state and local healthcare procurement activity. No recent opportunities in the source are directly related to surgical services, inpatient neurosurgical care, or the procedure named in the code. Absent evidence of genuine alignment between the code's procedural definition and the work being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes in state and local procurement.
