UNSPSC 85724352: Revision of internal fixation device in lumbar vertebral joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in lumbar vertebral 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 0SW0X4Z

UNSPSC 85724352, Revision of internal fixation device in lumbar vertebral joint, external approach (Commodity), does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—revision of lumbar spinal fusion hardware via external surgical approach—yet the most recent solicitations under this code cover occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These activities span administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing coordination rather than orthopedic implant procurement or spinal surgery services. The issuing bodies are diverse: city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), state transportation agencies (Washington Department of Transportation), and municipal human resources offices (Long Beach). No pattern of repeat buyers emerges from the record, and no solicitation directly solicits spinal fusion implants, revision surgery, or related surgical devices.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State, indicating national activity across state and local health administration and benefits procurement. The most recent opportunities—a Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; a Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Board independent medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026; and a Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing RFP due October 7, 2026—generate no procurement signal under the lumbar vertebral joint revision code's actual scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the nominal surgical implant code and the administrative and staffing services being solicited suggests potential miscoding in the source data or that this code tier does not reflect active state and local device procurement for this procedure.
