UNSPSC 85702421: Supplement lumbar vertebra with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement lumbar vertebra with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0QU047Z

UNSPSC 85702421 Supplement lumbar vertebra with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code—independent medical evaluations for retirement disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefits management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve administrative medical services, network management, and staffing placement, not spinal surgical procedures or tissue-based medical devices. State and local procurement offices do not appear to use this code to acquire the orthopedic surgical implants or surgical services its name describes.

No recent state and local opportunities reflect actual procurement demand for lumbar vertebra supplementation procedures under this code. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the health services administration work appearing in the recent-opportunities block indicates that this code sees little or no relevant activity in the state and local marketplace, or that the tagging is erroneous. Business development firms evaluating surgical implant or spinal procedure markets should not rely on this code as a signal of current state and local demand.
