UNSPSC 85725500: Joints lower spine, percutaneous approach-part E

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 85725500 Joints lower spine, percutaneous approach–part E, a Class code, shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—surgical procedures on the lumbar spine—does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under this classification, which instead cover healthcare administration, primary care delivery, mental health services, and emergency medical direction. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in state and local procurement systems or that this code is not actively used to describe work actually being purchased by state and local entities.

The five most recent opportunities flagged under this code span healthcare services unrelated to spinal surgery: Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division solicited comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison (RFP due May 15, 2026); Collier County, Florida sought Pharmacy Benefit Management Services for its health care consortium covering approximately 2,400 employees (RFP due April 9, 2026); Monroe County, Florida requested Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services for 2,300 county members (RFP due April 16, 2026); San Mateo County, California issued an RFP for peer support services for peer workers under MHSA funding (RFP due July 2, 2025); and Santa Monica Fire Department solicited a Medical Director for its EMS program (RFP due October 16, 2025). These opportunities indicate activity in Florida, Georgia, and California, but none involve orthopedic spine procedures or medical devices. Vendors evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their service lines before pursuing opportunities tagged to 85725500, as the current tagging does not reflect the work actually being procured.
