UNSPSC 85725272: Removal of internal fixation device from lumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from lumbar vertebral 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 0SP034Z

UNSPSC 85725272 Removal of internal fixation device from lumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific spinal surgery procedure—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The six most recent solicitations under this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the removal of internal fixation devices or spinal procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or a classification anomaly.

The recent opportunities are scattered across different issuing bodies and service lines without a coherent thread connecting them to lumbar spinal surgery. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) represent state and local healthcare and benefits administration work—pension medical reviews, employee health benefits, occupational health compliance, detention facility medical access, pharmacy management, and temporary clinical staffing. Given the code's stated scope and the absence of any surgical-procedure-focused opportunities, this code does not currently represent an active procurement category for state and local buyers pursuing spinal fixation removal services.
