UNSPSC 85724923: Fusion of lumbosacral joint, anterior approach, anterior column, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of lumbosacral joint, anterior approach, anterior column, 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 0SG30Z0

UNSPSC 85724923 Fusion of lumbosacral joint, anterior approach, anterior column, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal surgical procedure scope. The six most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code comprise independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for public-employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve spinal fusion surgery or orthopedic procedures aligned with the code's clinical name. The mismatch between the code designation and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in the issuing jurisdictions' procurement systems or a data-classification error upstream; no concrete evidence supports active state or local procurement for the lumbosacral fusion procedure itself.

The opportunities identified span multiple issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health benefits departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county benefits consortiums (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County), with geographic distribution across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Absent evidence of actual spinal fusion procurement under this code in the source material, pursuit of this Commodity code as labeled is not advisable; business development should verify with individual issuing bodies whether they have reclassified or plan to reclassify orthopedic surgical procedures, or flag the code for taxonomic review within their firm's compliance and bidding systems.
