UNSPSC 85724341: Revision of drainage device in lumbosacral joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of drainage device in lumbosacral joint, external 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 0SW3X0Z

UNSPSC 85724341 Revision of drainage device in lumbosacral joint, external approach is a Commodity code that carries a nominal scope focused on orthopedic surgical procedures, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little alignment with that clinical descriptor. Instead, the code sees activity across broad health services procurement — occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks for employee health plans, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The issuing bodies are county governments, state departments, and municipal health systems — chiefly county human resources and procurement offices contracting on behalf of employee and retiree health plans, county health systems, and specialized public agencies such as state ferries and juvenile probation departments.

The geographic footprint spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, with a two-year term and optional five-year extension; the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for employees and retirees, due October 7, 2026, targeted for April 2027 go-live; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code appears to be a misclassification vehicle for health services procurement that does not map cleanly to orthopedic surgical device revision.
