UNSPSC 85724434 Removal of drainage device from lumbosacral disc, external approach is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and actual state and local procurement activity under the code. Recent opportunities posted against this code do not involve surgical procedures for lumbosacral disc drainage; instead, they encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, surgical care networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in detention. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly by issuing bodies, and it does not reflect a coherent procurement category for orthopedic surgical device removal.

State and local governments posting opportunities against this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), counties (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and cities (City of Long Beach). Activity appears concentrated in California, Washington, Arizona, Texas, and Florida, with recent solicitations spanning July through October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for physician-supervised baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit record review and physician coordination; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for ancillary clinical categories. The code shows little relevance for pursuing firms focused on orthopedic surgical procedures or devices.
