UNSPSC 85724818: Insertion of spacer into lumbosacral joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer 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 0SH308Z

UNSPSC 85724818 (Insertion of spacer into lumbosacral joint, open approach) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted against this code do not align with its nominal scope—a surgical implantation procedure—and instead span independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefits carve-out administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the acquisition of lumbosacral spacer implants or related surgical implantation services, suggesting that the code assignment reflects administrative tagging rather than genuine procurement activity in this commodity category.

The opportunities that do appear under the code are geographically dispersed across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), issued by municipal governments, county health systems and human resources divisions, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice and probation authorities. Issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. The diversity of services and issuing bodies indicates that the code is not tracking a coherent procurement market for lumbosacral spacer devices or related surgical services; pursuing opportunities under this code would require evaluating each opportunity on its individual merits rather than identifying a sustainable category focus.
