UNSPSC 85702312: Revision of internal fixation device in lumbar vertebra, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device 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 0QW034Z

UNSPSC 85702312 Revision of internal fixation device in lumbar vertebra, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — revision of lumbar spinal fixation via percutaneous technique — yet the most recent opportunities tagged to this code do not solicit or procure such devices or procedures. Instead, the tagged opportunities span independent medical evaluation services, surgical carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the procurement, implantation, or revision of lumbar fixation hardware.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), though this distribution reflects only the locations of unrelated medical and health services solicitations rather than procurement under the code's actual scope. The mismatch between code designation and solicitation content suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging process or a systemic misclassification. Firms evaluating this code for business development should verify the accuracy of opportunities before committing resources to pursuit, as the recent record does not support meaningful activity in lumbar vertebral fixation procurement at the state or local level.
