This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement lumbosacral joint 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 0SU30KZ

UNSPSC 85724570 Supplement lumbosacral joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing an orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contracting activity tagged under it bears no relation to surgical implants or spine procedures. Instead, the opportunities show that this code captures a disparate set of health services and staffing procurements, including occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs, and youth detention medical services. The mismatch between the code's abstract name and the actual work being bought suggests the code may be misapplied or assigned inconsistently by issuing bodies, making the nominal code scope an unreliable predictor of opportunity type. Issuers include county health systems, county commissioners' offices, state transportation departments, city retirement offices, cities with large employee populations, and county juvenile probation departments—a wide mix of general-purpose and specialized health-focused jurisdictions with no dominant repeat buyer in the recent block.

Recent activity spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP, due October 9, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP, due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing qualification pool RFP, due October 7, 2026), Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation services RFP, due October 16, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP, due April 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department emergency and specialty medical services RFI, due September 25, 2026). The block shows no geographic concentration; opportunities are scattered across multiple regions. Given the divergence between the code name and actual solicitations, vendors should verify code assignment in the source RFP document before committing resources to pursuit.
