UNSPSC 85725178: Supplement lumbar vertebral joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement lumbar vertebral joint with autologous 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 0SU037Z

UNSPSC 85725178 Supplement lumbar vertebral joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code shows no relevant recent opportunities for the spinal-fusion surgical procedure it describes; instead, the recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, temporary health professional staffing, and inpatient emergency services for detained youth. These opportunities span administrative health services, employee benefit plan management, and facility-based clinical staffing—none of which match the orthopedic implant or surgical intervention scope of the code's published name. The mismatch suggests a data-tagging or classification error in the state and local procurement systems that posted these opportunities.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration among states. The recent opportunities represent diverse issuing bodies: municipal retirement offices, city personnel departments, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile justice departments. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). No opportunities in the posted set actually solicit products or services within the orthopedic implant or surgical procedure categories that UNSPSC 85725178 nominally describes.
