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 0SW2X0Z

UNSPSC 85724346 Revision of drainage device in lumbar vertebral disc, external approach is a Commodity code with a nominal scope of orthopedic surgical procedures; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show little relevance to the surgical-device category. The code shows activity in occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical-care carve-outs for employee benefit plans — none of which align with spinal-device revision work. This appears to be a misclassification issue within the state and local procurement tagging system, suggesting the code either carries limited active demand for its true scope or that issuers are consistently applying the code to unrelated healthcare administrative and staffing services.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals, RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefits management, HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Collier County in Florida (pharmacy benefit management, RFP 25-8414, proposal deadline April 9, 2026), Santa Clara County Health System in California (temporary ancillary health professional staffing, RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department in Texas (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). These solicitations span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, reflecting no geographic concentration and no pattern of repeat buyers. The mismatch between code name and actual buying activity makes this code unreliable for targeting orthopedic surgical-device opportunities; business developers should verify code assignments independently before committing resources.
