This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from lumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85725273 Removal of infusion device from lumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not align with that clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities solicited under this code encompass occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, temporary health professional staffing, pharmacy benefit management, surgical specialty carve-out networks for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The issuing bodies include county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state departments of transportation, county juvenile probation departments, and county benefits procurement offices—a diverse mix of health care administration and workforce safety functions rather than orthopedic procedure providers. The code shows substantial misdirection between its formal UNSPSC title and actual procurement intent, suggesting either miscategorization or use of a catch-all taxonomy placeholder by jurisdictions with limited medical-services coding familiarity.

Recent opportunities span Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation services, $750,000 over five years, RFP due October 16, 2026), California (Long Beach surgical Centers of Excellence carve-out for employee PPO members, RFP due October 7, 2026, and Santa Clara Health System temporary ancillary clinical staffing, RFP due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations, RFP due October 9, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 dependents, RFP due April 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in large urban counties and state-level health and transportation agencies, with no single jurisdiction appearing as a repeat buyer under this code in the recent record.
