UNSPSC 85702334: Replacement of lumbar vertebra with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of lumbar vertebra with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0QR03KZ

UNSPSC 85702334, Replacement of lumbar vertebra with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not map to actual state and local procurement activity in the available record. The code describes a specific surgical procedure performed on individual patients within a hospital or surgical setting—a clinical service line rather than a purchasing category—and state and local governments do not solicit for this code or procure it as a contracting vehicle.

The six recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing for a county health system. None of these solicitations concern lumbar vertebra replacement, percutaneous spinal fusion, orthopedic surgical devices, or related implants. The code appears to be a data classification error in the source material; the opportunities belong under codes for occupational health services, medical benefits administration, health professional staffing, or disability medical evaluation services rather than under a procedure-specific surgical code. State and local procurement activity under this code is not evident in the record.
