UNSPSC 85702310: Revision of synthetic substitute in lumbar vertebra, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in lumbar vertebra, 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 0QW03JZ

UNSPSC 85702310 Revision of synthetic substitute in lumbar vertebra, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect a misclassification pattern—they encompass independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, specialty healthcare delivery for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve lumbar vertebra procedures or the orthopedic surgery intervention the code nominally describes. State and local procurement offices are using this code to tag diverse medical and health administration services that fall outside its intended commodity boundary.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), county health authorities (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), municipal employee health plans (City of Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Recent opportunities posted in August through September 2026 include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical center-of-excellence networks for municipal health plans (due October 7, 2026); and Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity clusters in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity and represents a classification misalignment rather than a coherent commodity family—vendors pursuing state and local health services should monitor code tagging accuracy when scoping opportunities under this designation.
