This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement lumbosacral disc with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0SU40KZ

UNSPSC 85724567 Supplement lumbosacral disc with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical implant procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows no alignment with orthopedic or surgical implant supply. The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty hospital care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve lumbosacral disc implants or spine surgery supplies. Issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System, representing a mix of municipal governments, state agencies, county health systems, and public safety pension boards. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual buying activity suggests either a systematic tagging error in the underlying procurement database or that this code is not being used by state and local governments for its nominal purpose.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State (WSDOT), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration in any region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year base with optional five-year extensions, cost-weighted at 40 percent), and the Santa Clara County Health System RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed volume). The code shows little relevant recent activity in its stated commodity domain and appears to be a low-signal or mislabeled classification in current state and local procurement.
