UNSPSC 85702326: Reposition lumbar vertebra, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition 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 0QS03ZZ

UNSPSC 85702326 Reposition lumbar vertebra, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows a mismatch between its nominal scope — a specific spinal surgical procedure — and the actual state and local buying activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities solicited are independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these align with the code's stated clinical procedure. The code reflects little to no relevant recent activity targeting the procedural work the taxonomy nominally describes.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county human resources and benefits programs (Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal benefits administration (City of Long Beach). Geographically, the opportunities are spread across Arizona, Florida, California, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees (RFP 25-8414, proposals due April 9, 2026). The code's application appears to reflect cataloging inconsistency rather than genuine procurement interest in lumbar vertebra repositioning procedures.
