UNSPSC 85725342 Insertion of spacer into lumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code for a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical implant procurement or orthopedic device supply. Instead, the opportunities show state and local governments buying occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with lumbar vertebral spacer insertion or implantable medical devices. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the opportunities appear to reflect a classification mismatch rather than actual procurement under the code's nominal scope.

The issuing bodies in the tagged opportunities include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a municipal employee health plan (City of Long Beach), and a county juvenile justice agency (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance contract for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026).
