UNSPSC 85724632: Replacement of lumbosacral disc with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of lumbosacral disc with synthetic 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 0SR40JZ

UNSPSC 85724632, Replacement of lumbosacral disc with synthetic substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving spinal implantation, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs. None of these solicitations involves procurement of lumbosacral disc implants or surgical devices. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners and their human resources or health divisions, state transportation departments, county health systems, and municipal retirement offices—jurisdictions purchasing health plan administration, medical services coordination, and clinical staffing rather than orthopedic implants or surgical supplies.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Representative opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Ferries' RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, across 14 ferry system locations with cost accounting for 40 percent of evaluation scoring; and Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million. The code classification appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-mapping error within the state and local procurement system; no recent opportunities reflect procurement of spinal surgical implants or related medical devices.
