This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in lumbar vertebra, 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 0QW00JZ

UNSPSC 85702210 Revision of synthetic substitute in lumbar vertebra, open approach is a Commodity code that exhibits a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code's surgical taxonomy implies orthopedic implant procedures, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve lumbar vertebra implants or orthopedic surgery services. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems (Santa Clara Health System), but the work solicited has no connection to the implant revision procedures the code nominally describes.

The code shows no relevant recent activity for firms pursuing orthopedic device supply or surgical implant services at the state and local level under this specific UNSPSC classification. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source opportunities or that state and local procurement offices are not using UNSPSC 85702210 to classify the orthopedic implant work this code is designed to capture. Business development professionals should verify coding accuracy through direct engagement with procurement offices or through alternative taxonomy searches before investing pursuit resources under this code.
