UNSPSC 85702349: Removal of synthetic substitute from lumbar vertebra, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from 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 0QP03JZ

UNSPSC 85702349 Removal of synthetic substitute from lumbar vertebra, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows no alignment between the code's nominal scope—a specific spinal surgical procedure—and the actual state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The recent solicitations involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, and emergency services for detained youth. None of these activities involve the removal of synthetic lumbar implants or any percutaneous spinal procedure. The code appears to have been misapplied or incorrectly tagged across these opportunities, rendering it unsuitable as a predictor of actual state and local procurement demand for the medical service it nominally describes.

No recent state and local contract opportunities substantively match the Commodity code's actual scope. Businesses evaluating this code should treat the recent-activity signal as unreliable for strategic planning purposes. If procurement in removal of synthetic lumbar vertebra implants occurs within state and local health systems, hospitals, or employee health benefit programs, those opportunities are not surfacing under this code in current market intelligence.
