UNSPSC 85702460: Insertion of internal fixation device into lumbar vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into lumbar vertebra, 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 0QH044Z

UNSPSC 85702460, Insertion of internal fixation device into lumbar vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code are solicitations for independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the procurement or supply of lumbar vertebra fixation devices or related surgical equipment. The mismatch between the code's scope and the actual work being bought suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or that state and local procurement offices are tagging health services and administrative healthcare functions with this code inappropriately.

The issuing bodies include a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city employee health benefits program (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice agency (Harris County), a county government health consortium (Collier County), and a county hospital system (Santa Clara County Health System). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with no geographic concentration visible. The code offers no decision-relevant signal for firms seeking to supply medical devices, surgical implants, or related procedural supplies to state and local buyers.
