UNSPSC 85725252: Removal of infusion device from lumbosacral disc, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device 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 0SP433Z

UNSPSC 85725252 Removal of infusion device from lumbosacral disc, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the work actually being purchased by public sector buyers. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluations for retirement-board disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management services, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve infusion device removal or lumbosacral disc procedures. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health plan purchasers (Long Beach), state departments of transportation (Washington), county juvenile probation systems (Harris County), county commissioners' offices (Collier County, Santa Clara), and county health systems, reflecting a cross-section of municipal, county, and regional public bodies. This pattern suggests the code is being applied in a manner that deviates substantially from its Commodity-level definition.

The recent opportunities cluster in Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, though the geographic spread reflects broader national activity across state departments and major urban centers rather than concentration in a single region. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum contract value over five years and an October 16, 2026 response deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference held August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code does not reliably predict the scope of work being solicited and may signal either systematic miscoding of health services opportunities or a wholesale mismatch between the code's clinical definition and how state and local procurement systems are deploying it.
