This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into 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 0QH004Z

UNSPSC 85702261 Insertion of internal fixation device into lumbar vertebra, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedure title and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations posted under this code do not involve orthopedic spine surgery, surgical devices, or medical device procurement; instead, they capture healthcare service contracting across multiple domains—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management (PBM), virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. This misalignment suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities were tagged to the code or a cataloging artifact within the issuing platforms. No concrete state and local procurement activity targeting lumbar vertebra fixation devices or related orthopedic implants appears in the recent opportunities block.

The geographic spread of current activity under this code spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), and California (San Mateo County), with issuing bodies ranging from county boards of commissioners and consolidated governments to county health departments and fire departments. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026). Given the code's stated scope and the actual content of these solicitations, this code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for orthopedic device suppliers or spine surgery-focused vendors at this time.
