UNSPSC 85724733: Removal of drainage device from lumbosacral disc, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device 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 0SP400Z

UNSPSC 85724733 Removal of drainage device from lumbosacral disc, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code designation refers to a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve spinal drainage device removal or orthopedic surgery specifically. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the source jurisdictions or a data-collection artifact rather than genuine procurement demand under this code's intended scope.

Across the six opportunities posted between late July and mid-September 2026, issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). The geographic spread spans Washington, Florida, Texas, California, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services for public safety pensions with a $750,000 five-year budget ceiling (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's surgical focus and the health administration and staffing work actually being solicited, this code should not drive pursuit decisions for vendors in orthopedic surgical services or medical device supply.
