UNSPSC 85702228: Reposition lumbar vertebra with internal fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition lumbar vertebra with internal fixation device, 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 0QS004Z

UNSPSC 85702228 Reposition lumbar vertebra with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal clinical scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not involve orthopedic spinal surgery or lumbar vertebral procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing qualification pools, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code's abstract name and the work actually being solicited diverge substantially, signaling either a data-classification anomaly in the source records or tagging misalignment within state and local procurement systems.

Across the opportunities present, issuing bodies include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and independent authorities (Phoenix Fire Pension Board, Phoenix Police Pension Board). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record review and physician examination coordination for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026) requiring licensed occupational medicine physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), which creates a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work volume. None of these opportunities align with spinal orthopedic surgery procurement; prospective bidders should verify code classification with issuing procurement offices before pursuing opportunities under this code.
