UNSPSC 85725007: Extirpation of matter from lumbar vertebral disc, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from lumbar vertebral disc, 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 0SC20ZZ

UNSPSC 85725007 Extirpation of matter from lumbar vertebral disc, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which relate to the surgical procedure named in the code's title. The mismatch suggests a taxonomy classification error rather than a meaningful procurement category for this specific medical procedure at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span municipal government (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), county government (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and a state transportation authority (Washington State Department of Transportation). No opportunities were found directly procuring lumbar vertebral disc extirpation services or orthopedic surgical procedures under this code. Geographic activity appears in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the opportunities themselves fall outside the code's nominal scope and do not signal meaningful market activity for this specific procedure at the state and local level.
