UNSPSC 85724729 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lumbosacral disc, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical-procedure description and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical name references a specific surgical intervention; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, occupational health surveillance, surgical care networks through Centers of Excellence, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve removal of tissue substitutes from the spine. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal workforce benefits offices (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County), and county benefits consortiums (Collier County). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida across the most recent postings from August through September 2026.

The code demonstrates little relevant recent procurement activity for its stated scope. Representative solicitations show misalignment: the Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations, requiring physician-performed baseline and periodic examinations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026 (due October 16, 2026) for disability medical record summary preparation and independent medical examinations to support public safety retirement determinations; and Collier County posted RFP 25-8414 on August 20, 2026 (due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members. If procurement professionals are tracking this code for spine-procedure-specific work, recent activity does not support current market opportunity under the stated commodity classification.
