UNSPSC 85725170: Supplement lumbosacral joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement lumbosacral joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0SU33KZ

UNSPSC 85725170 Supplement lumbosacral joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedures, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little alignment with that scope. The six most recent opportunities include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve lumbosacral joint supplementation or orthopedic implant procurement. The mismatch suggests this code is either rarely used in state and local procurement or is being applied inconsistently by issuing agencies to broader medical service categories that do not match the code's specific clinical definition.

The issuing bodies are diverse and geographically dispersed: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical Centers of Excellence networks (due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of procurement activity that actually matches the code's stated clinical definition, pursuing opportunities under this code requires verification that individual solicitations are legitimately within scope before committing business development resources.
