This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lumbosacral joint, 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 0SP30KZ

UNSPSC 85724734 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lumbosacral joint, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it bear little relationship to the code's nominal surgical procedure scope. The opportunities actually being solicited under this code include occupational health surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefits management, and hospital-based emergency and specialty care for detained youth. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal agencies (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). This mismatch suggests the code may be capturing a broader family of health services procurement that extends well beyond the specific lumbosacral surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

Recent activity clusters in the Southwest and West Coast. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026, requiring physician-conducted examinations across 14 ferry system locations statewide. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 five-year contract value). The City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits serving approximately 3,800 employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026, with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027). The County of Santa Clara Health System established a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive, with no guaranteed work). Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency, inpatient, and specialty healthcare services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million (deadline April 9, 2026, initial three-year term effective January 1, 2026).
