UNSPSC 85702378: Destruction of lumbar vertebra, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0Q503ZZ

UNSPSC 85702378 Destruction of lumbar vertebra, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code nominally denoting a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not align with the code's procedural scope. The most recent opportunities show no requests for lumbar vertebra destruction services. Instead, state and local issuers have tagged five unrelated medical and healthcare-administration solicitations under this code: independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations span medical evaluation administration, benefits program management, workplace occupational health, and clinical staffing — none of which represent orthopedic surgical procedures or spinal interventions. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated commodity definition.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, county health systems, and county procurement divisions across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Two of the six opportunities are RFPs (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach); one is an RFQ (Collier County PBM); one is an RFI (Harris County); and the Washington State Department of Transportation solicitation is an IFB. Response dates have ranged from September 25, 2026 through October 16, 2026. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, this code does not present a meaningful signal for vendors pursuing orthopedic surgical services under state and local procurement.
