UNSPSC 85724537: Revision of spacer in lumbosacral joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of spacer in lumbosacral joint, open 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 0SW308Z

UNSPSC 85724537 Revision of spacer in lumbosacral joint, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing orthopedic surgical procedure materials, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no direct alignment with that scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect procurement of occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve lumbosacral joint spacers or orthopedic implant materials. The code appears to be a misfiled or overloaded taxonomy classification in the state and local procurement systems that issued these opportunities.

The issuing bodies span a mix of county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal health systems (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities posted August through September 2026 include the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP for Centers of Excellence due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle due October 7, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026. Geographic activity centers on California, Arizona, and Washington, with Collier County, Florida also active. Given the lack of genuine commodity-level procurement activity under the code's stated scope, the code warrants review for accuracy before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
