UNSPSC 85473218: Extirpation of matter from lumbar spinal cord, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from lumbar spinal cord, 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 00CY3ZZ

UNSPSC 85473218 Extirpation of matter from lumbar spinal cord, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code describing a specific spinal surgical procedure; however, the code shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 that appear in the corresponding state and local opportunities block do not align with the code's surgical scope. Instead, they reflect procurement for independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefits management, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These opportunities are administrative healthcare services, workforce staffing, and benefits program management — not spinal surgical procedures or related medical devices and supplies. The mismatch between the code's procedure-specific nomenclature and the actual buying activity suggests the code does not reflect meaningful purchasing demand in state and local government.

No state and local government solicitations for lumbar spinal cord procedures, related surgical supplies, or supporting medical services appeared in recent postings. Firms evaluating this code should verify whether the procedural codes used by state procurement systems align with UNSPSC 85473218 in practice, as the taxonomy classification and actual procurement activity are disconnected in the current environment.
