UNSPSC 85725148: Revision of synthetic substitute in lumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in lumbar vertebral joint, 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 0SW03JZ

UNSPSC 85725148 Revision of synthetic substitute in lumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities tagged to it span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out benefits, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve lumbar vertebral joint replacement or revision procedures. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting this specific surgical intervention as a standalone procurement line item; rather, they are procuring broader healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit-management services that fall outside this code's nominal scope.

The mismatch between the code classification and actual solicitation content suggests the code carries little decision-relevance for vendors pursuing state and local orthopedic or surgical contracts. The opportunities present — including the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical-benefit carve-out program (due October 7, 2026), and Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance contract (due October 9, 2026) — involve healthcare procurement and administration rather than surgical products or procedures. Firms with capabilities in spinal implants, revision instruments, or orthopedic devices should not rely on this code to surface relevant opportunities in state and local procurement channels.
