UNSPSC 85725174: Supplement lumbar vertebral disc with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement lumbar vertebral disc with synthetic 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 0SU23JZ

UNSPSC 85725174 Supplement lumbar vertebral disc with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical implant procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic implant procurement. Instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension and disability determinations, surgical benefits carve-out management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and the actual work state and local governments are buying—this appears to be a data-classification mismatch rather than active procurement of lumbar vertebral disc implants or related surgical services at the state and local level.

The recent opportunities span geographic distribution across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices, city benefits administrators, state transportation departments, county probation systems, and county health systems. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, addressing disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications with a $750,000 five-year ceiling; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations with evaluation weighting 40 percent cost and 60 percent non-cost capability; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFP due October 7, 2026, establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories on a non-exclusive, multiple-award, no-guarantee basis. The code shows little relevant recent activity and should not be pursued for lumbar implant or orthopedic device sales.
