UNSPSC 85725249: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lumbosacral disc, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lumbosacral disc, 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 0SP43KZ

UNSPSC 85725249, Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lumbosacral disc, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local solicitations posted under this classification. The source shows no active opportunities for surgical removal of disc material or related orthopedic procedures; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code address occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These represent distinct medical service lines — none involving the specific lumbosacral disc procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the underlying opportunity feeds or that this code does not currently reflect active state and local procurement demand for the surgical service it nominally describes.

The recent opportunities do confirm substantial activity in related medical and occupational health services across multiple jurisdiction types. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability determinations under its pension systems; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System opened a qualified-vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested proposals for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through centers of excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026, representing approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending). These solicitations span state departments, county health systems, city retirement offices, and county human resources functions across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, indicating geographic distribution but no material alignment with the code's stated scope.
