UNSPSC 85725129: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in lumbosacral disc, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in lumbosacral disc, percutaneous 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 0SW43KZ

UNSPSC 85725129, Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in lumbosacral disc, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical designation suggests orthopedic spine procedures, but the recent opportunities posted under it do not reflect procurement of medical devices, implants, or surgical revision services typical of that clinical domain. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span disability medical evaluations, surgery benefit carve-outs for health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve lumbosacral disc revision procedures or tissue substitutes.

Activity under this code remains sparse and geographically scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear pattern of repeat buyers or sustained procurement momentum. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted a disability medical evaluation RFP on September 16, 2026 (due October 16) seeking comprehensive medical record summarization and independent examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety retirement applications, with a $750,000 maximum contract value over five years. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP on August 26, 2026 (due October 7) for a surgical carve-out benefit program covering Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, spine, oncology, and other procedures under its Anthem PPO plan. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services on August 25, 2026 (due October 9) for ferry system workers across 14 Washington locations, with a two-year term and optional five-year extension. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI on August 24, 2026 seeking emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth. The UNSPSC coding here appears misaligned with actual procurement scope, and vendors should verify the intended commodity classification before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
