UNSPSC 85725400: Joints lower spine, percutaneous approach-part D

This class includes one or more of 16 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the joints of the lower spine with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0S.

UNSPSC 85725400 Joints lower spine, percutaneous approach-part D is a Class code with minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—spine-specific surgical procedures performed by percutaneous approach—does not align with the opportunities tagged under it in the recent-opportunities block. The solicitations posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and youth detention medical services. None of these activities involve spine surgery or percutaneous surgical intervention.

The mismatch suggests either systematic code misclassification in state and local procurement systems or limited actual procurement volume under the code's intended scope. No issuing body has posted a solicitation for spine surgery implants, instrumentation, or percutaneous surgical services in the recent-opportunities block. When state and local procurement systems tag opportunities with UNSPSC codes that do not match the work being bought, the code becomes less useful as a market signal. Absent evidence of actual spine-surgery-related contracting activity in recent postings, this code does not warrant pursuit at present.
