UNSPSC 85724817: Insertion of interspinous process spinal stabilization device into lumbosacral joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of interspinous process spinal stabilization device into 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 0SH30BZ

UNSPSC 85724817, Insertion of interspinous process spinal stabilization device into lumbosacral joint, open approach, is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities in the dataset tagged to this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve spinal devices, orthopedic implants, or the surgical procedures the code nominally describes. State and local governments do purchase medical devices and healthcare equipment, but this particular code's recent activity does not reflect orthopedic implant procurement; the posting titles and scope statements consistently emphasize administrative healthcare services, care coordination, and provider services rather than medical device insertion or spinal stabilization procedures.

The mismatch suggests either a data classification issue or incidental tagging. Georgia's Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services, RFP 26-0008, due May 15, 2026), Collier County, Florida (pharmacy benefit management, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), Monroe County, Florida (virtual primary and urgent care, RFP, due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County, California (peer support services, RFP 2025-007, due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica, California (fire department medical director, RFP 455, due October 16, 2025) are the issuing bodies, but their solicitations do not reflect demand for the implantable device or procedure named in the code. Firms evaluating this code for state and local opportunities should verify whether the UNSPSC tagging in live procurement databases reflects actual orthopedic device procurement or represents a misclassification requiring correction.
