UNSPSC 85724433: Removal of infusion device from lumbosacral disc, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from lumbosacral disc, 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 0SP4X3Z

UNSPSC 85724433 Removal of infusion device from lumbosacral disc, external approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The three recent state and local opportunities posted against this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations in Phoenix, surgical benefit carve-out programs in Long Beach, occupational medical surveillance in Washington State, and pharmacy benefit management in Collier County—involve healthcare administration, occupational health screening, and benefits coordination rather than the orthopedic surgical procedure the code describes. A fourth opportunity from Harris County Juvenile Probation for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth similarly addresses inpatient and outpatient hospital care rather than the specific lumbosacral disc device-removal procedure. The one exception is Santa Clara County Health System's vendor-pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, which does not target infusion-device removal specifically.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual opportunities posted suggests either misclassification in state and local procurement databases or that this specific orthopedic procedure is not a distinct procurement line item in state and local markets. Recent activity clusters around health benefits management, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing rather than surgical procedure codes. Issuers include county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris), municipal retirement boards (Phoenix), city benefits offices (Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington). Geographic presence spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but none of these opportunities align with infusion-device removal procurement. Firms pursuing work under this code should verify whether state and local buyers are actually soliciting orthopedic surgical services as a distinct line item or whether procurement databases are applying the code to administrative or occupational health services that belong under different classifications.
