This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement lumbar vertebral joint 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 0SU03JZ

UNSPSC 85725177 Supplement lumbar vertebral joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure name and the state and local contract opportunities recently tagged under it. The recent solicitations—independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—reflect healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits management work rather than orthopedic surgical procedures or medical devices. The mismatch suggests either broad misclassification by issuing bodies or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement where a more precise UNSPSC code was unavailable or overlooked at posting.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional health systems, with no single repeat buyer dominating the recent activity block. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The code shows no meaningful recent activity in the ostensible commodity class it nominally describes.
