UNSPSC 85724740: Removal of infusion device from lumbosacral joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion 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 0SP303Z

UNSPSC 85724740 Removal of infusion device from lumbosacral joint, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in the taxonomy to describe surgical procedure codes, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with orthopedic or spinal surgery procurement. The actual buying activity captures a broader range of occupational health, pension administration, employee benefits, and temporary staffing services — none directly related to the code's nominal scope of surgical device removal.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed and fragmented across different issuing-body types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out network administration for employee health plans), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). The mismatch between the code's orthopedic procedure name and the actual procurement activity — employee health benefit design, occupational medicine, pension disability assessment, and temporary staffing — suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this code is not the appropriate taxonomy designation for these solicitations. Recent proposals have closed or are approaching close in October 2026 (Phoenix RFP October 16, Long Beach October 7, WSDOT October 9, Santa Clara October 7) with no indication of ongoing volume or frequency under this code. Business development professionals should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before investing pursuit effort, as the divergence between code definition and actual buying activity limits the utility of this category for targeting procurement opportunities.
