UNSPSC 85702435: Replacement of lumbar vertebra with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of lumbar vertebra with synthetic 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 0QR04JZ

UNSPSC 85702435 Replacement of lumbar vertebra with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical procedure classification. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which describe spinal fusion implant procurement or the orthopedic surgical supplies the code nominally covers. This mismatch suggests either classification error in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are using this code to tag broader healthcare administration and staffing services rather than surgical implants and devices.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal procurement (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county health system (Santa Clara), a county judicial authority (Harris County), and county government (Collier County), indicating that code tagging spans healthcare administration, occupational medicine, and benefits management across diverse jurisdictions. No recent opportunities present direct procurement of spinal fusion implants, surgical instruments, or orthopedic device supply contracts that would align with the code's stated scope. State and local buyers appear to be using this code for medical services contracting rather than medical device or implant supply.
