UNSPSC 85724438 Removal of infusion device from lumbar vertebral disc, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it are actually for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and specialty care services for juvenile detention — none of which involve lumbar infusion device removal. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being procured suggests this code is either misapplied in the source material or sees minimal activity aligned with its clinical specification.

The few solicitations present span diverse issuing bodies across multiple states and use different notice types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services (due September 25, 2026), Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). These opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington with no discernible geographic concentration. No evaluation of this code is recommended without verification that opportunities are properly classified.
