UNSPSC 85725259: Removal of internal fixation device from lumbosacral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from lumbosacral joint, 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 0SP334Z

UNSPSC 85725259 Removal of internal fixation device from lumbosacral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six opportunities tagged with this code since July 2026 — spanning independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs (Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), emergency and specialty care for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System) — are unrelated to orthopedic surgical device removal or spinal instrumentation management. The code's classification as a specific surgical procedure suggests it may be intended for clinical billing or claims coding rather than procurement of goods or services by public sector employers and agencies. State and local procurement offices do not appear to use this code to solicit work that falls within its stated definition.

This code does not support a viable pursuit strategy for firms bidding state and local opportunities. The mismatch between the code's orthopedic surgery specificity and the healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit management services actually being solicited under it indicates either miscoding by issuing offices or that the code is not in active use for state and local procurement. Business development professionals should verify the actual UNSPSC classification of any specific opportunity before pursuing, as tagging accuracy cannot be assumed at this code level.
