UNSPSC 85724631: Replacement of lumbosacral disc with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of 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 0SR40KZ

UNSPSC 85724631 Replacement of lumbosacral disc with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local contract opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks through Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve lumbosacral disc replacement or orthopedic implants. The source shows no recent solicitations for the procedure named by the code itself.

The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities have been tagged or that state and local procurement offices are using this code to classify broader medical services and administrative health functions rather than surgical device procurement or orthopedic procedures. No state and local government purchases of lumbosacral disc replacements or related implant materials appear in the recent opportunities block. Buyers pursuing this code should verify with issuing bodies whether the code is in active use for its stated purpose or whether procurement activity under it has migrated to different product or service categories.
