This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from lumbosacral 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 0SP40JZ

UNSPSC 85724730 Removal of synthetic substitute from lumbosacral disc, open approach (Commodity) shows limited alignment between the code's surgical procedure name and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code do not involve orthopedic spine surgery. Instead, they span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care-out programs for government employees, temporary clinical staffing networks, and emergency youth detention medical services. None of these services involve lumbosacral disc procedures or operative intervention.

Recent activity appears across multiple state and local issuing bodies, including county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal retirement offices and city procurement (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services to support disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations, due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties, due October 7, 2026. The code classification appears to represent a data hygiene issue rather than an active market for spine surgery services at the state and local level.
