This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of 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 0Q804ZZ

UNSPSC 85702475 Division of lumbar vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement shows little activity directly aligned with the surgical procedure named in the code's taxonomy. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which center on percutaneous endoscopic lumbar division procedures. State and local governments issuing under this code include county boards of commissioners managing employee health benefits (Collier County, City of Long Beach), a regional health system (Santa Clara County Health System), a state ferry authority (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county retirement office (City of Phoenix), and a juvenile probation department (Harris County). The mix suggests that the code may be misapplied to health benefit administration and clinical staffing rather than to specific surgical interventions.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the West and Southwest — Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida — with one Texas opportunity. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals, and the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for surgical Centers of Excellence carve-out networks covering knee, hip, spine, shoulder, and heart procedures. A mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual content of recent solicitations suggests that the code is either tagged incorrectly by posting jurisdictions or captures a broader administrative health services function than the taxonomy description indicates. Firms pursuing work under this code should treat the actual solicitation language as authoritative and verify alignment with their service offerings before investing in response.
