This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from 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 0SP0X3Z

UNSPSC 85724441 Removal of infusion device from lumbar vertebral joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and examinations, surgical carve-out network management, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing placement, and youth detention healthcare delivery — none of which involve the orthopedic procedure the code purports to describe. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either systematic misclassification by issuing bodies or that the code itself is not the correct taxonomy placement for the opportunities appearing in the source.

Activity is scattered across three states and four distinct issuing bodies with no geographic concentration or repeat buyers. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) posted an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services due September 25, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) posted an RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management with a historical contract value around $8.7 million annually. Given the complete absence of opportunities that match the code's orthopedic procedure designation, this code warrants close verification before investment in pursuit strategy.
