UNSPSC 85725263: Removal of synthetic substitute from lumbar vertebral disc, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from lumbar vertebral 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 0SP23JZ

UNSPSC 85725263 Removal of synthetic substitute from lumbar vertebral disc, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code for a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with spinal surgery procurement. The three opportunities with substantive scope detail involve occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), and surgical specialty care carve-outs for municipal employee health plans (City of Long Beach). The code appears to have been applied to opportunities focused on medical service administration, health plan design, and occupational health examination rather than the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. A fourth opportunity from Harris County Juvenile Probation Department requests information on specialty medical services for detained youth without specifying scope, and a fifth from Collier County addresses pharmacy benefit management—neither of which maps to lumbar disc surgery or the code's stated procedure.

The geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration in any single state or region. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, city health plan administrators, state transportation departments, county juvenile detention authorities, and county health systems—a wide range of government service providers. Without opportunities that substantively address percutaneous lumbar disc synthetic substitute removal or related orthopedic surgical services, this code shows little relevant recent activity for business development focus in state and local procurement.
