UNSPSC 85724633: Replacement of lumbosacral disc with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of lumbosacral disc with autologous 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 0SR407Z

UNSPSC 85724633 Replacement of lumbosacral disc with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure code from the Clinical Intervention Classification system; however, the recent opportunities tagged under this code procure occupational health services, employee health benefits management, pharmacy benefits administration, temporary health professional staffing, and independent medical evaluations for pension and disability determinations — none of which involve spinal disc replacement procedures or orthopedic surgical interventions.

The mismatch suggests a classification or tagging error in the source data. State and local governments do not purchase spinal disc replacement surgeries as commodities under procurement solicitations; they contract with health systems, medical providers, and benefits administrators to manage or provide healthcare services. No recent opportunities reflect the code's nominal scope. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code alignment for healthcare service procurement at the jurisdictions and issuing bodies represented in these opportunities — including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension medical evaluations), City of Long Beach (surgical care networks and bundled payment management), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention healthcare), Collier County (pharmacy benefits management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing) — before treating this code as an active procurement area.
