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 0SP030Z

UNSPSC 85725274 Removal of drainage device from lumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little to no alignment with the surgical procedure itself. The code appears to be a classification mismatch in the source data, as recent solicitations tagged to it address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans—none of which involve the lumbar drainage device removal procedure named in the code. The posting bodies include county health systems, county commissioners' offices, state departments of transportation, city retirement offices, and county juvenile probation departments, but the work being solicited does not correspond to the code's nominal scope.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with the most visible recent solicitations from the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferries operations, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for public safety disability determinations, $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary categories, due October 7, 2026), and the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program for employee health plans, due October 7, 2026). Unless the code assignment reflects a data-entry error or a system mismatch between procurement platforms, the code shows negligible relevant recent activity for firms pursuing work in the surgical procedure domain it nominally describes.
