UNSPSC 85724606: Resection of lumbar vertebral disc, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of lumbar vertebral disc, 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 0ST20ZZ

UNSPSC 85724606 Resection of lumbar vertebral disc, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The three recent opportunities on file show no vertebral disc resection procedures or orthopedic surgical services of that type. Instead, the code has been applied to independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, and specialty medical network management for public employees and beneficiaries. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 for disability medical record summary preparation and independent medical examination scheduling for pension benefit applicants, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services covering baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations for Washington State Ferries personnel across 14 locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. A fourth solicitation—Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI 071626BNM, issued August 24, 2026 with responses due September 25, 2026—seeks emergency and inpatient hospital-based services for detained youth, also misaligned with the code's stated scope. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity and appears to carry a classification mismatch.

The geographic distribution across the tagged opportunities spans Arizona, Washington State, and Texas, with no evident concentration in any single region. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice systems, and county health care authorities—a broad public-sector mix. Because the opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect the code's nominal substance (lumbar disc resection), and no actual surgical or orthopedic procedure solicitations appear in the recent block, the code does not serve as a reliable signal for state and local procurement in spinal surgery or related procedures.
