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 0SP33AZ

UNSPSC 85725256, Removal of interbody fusion device from lumbosacral joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its procedural surgical specification and the actual work state and local governments are currently soliciting under this tag. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve spinal fusion device removal or any related orthopedic procedure. Instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical Centers of Excellence networks, and youth detention healthcare services—a range of administrative and clinical support activities bearing no connection to the code's stated scope. This pattern indicates the code is either being misapplied by issuing bodies or has been assigned incorrectly in the opportunity records themselves.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), with no repeat buyers visible in the recent block. Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix's RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services and disability record summary preparation due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the unrelated opportunities tagged to it, business development professionals should treat this code as showing little relevant recent procurement activity and verify code assignment directly with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities.
