This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lumbosacral joint, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85725254 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lumbosacral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its formal clinical scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical procedures targeting lumbosacral joint tissue removal; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. State and local procurement offices have posted the code against administrative healthcare services and employee benefit programs rather than orthopedic or spine surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), two county governments (Collier County in Florida and Harris County in Texas), one city retirement office (Phoenix), one city employee benefits program (Long Beach), and one regional health system (Santa Clara County Health System), reflecting a mix of state agencies, county procurement offices, city human resources departments, and public health systems.

Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The most recent representative opportunities are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations (proposals due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-out programs for its Anthem PPO plan (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code's formal clinical definition and the actual procurement activity are substantially misaligned, suggesting either a taxonomy coding error at the state or local procurement source or a mislabeling that does not reflect genuine market demand for the lumbosacral joint procedure itself.
