This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of interbody fusion device 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 0SP30AZ

UNSPSC 85724736 Removal of interbody fusion device from lumbosacral joint, open approach is a Commodity code; however, recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect medical device procurement or surgical procedures matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out program administration — functions that fall outside the device removal and orthopedic surgery domain the code describes. The source shows no recent state or local RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs for the actual procurement of interbody fusion devices or related spinal surgery services that would align with the code's definition.

Activity across the tagged opportunities spans multiple issuing bodies and geographies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations, $750,000 over five years, RFP due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out for Centers of Excellence, RFP due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations, RFP due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool, RFSQ due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington; however, none of these opportunities reflect procurement under the UNSPSC code's stated commodity definition. The code appears to carry a mismatch between its taxonomy designation and current state and local buying activity.
