UNSPSC 85725507: Extirpation of matter from lumbar vertebral disc, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from lumbar vertebral disc, percutaneous approach. 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 0SC23ZZ

UNSPSC 85725507 Extirpation of matter from lumbar vertebral disc, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears to name a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it do not align with that clinical scope. State and local governments are not currently soliciting this specific spine procedure; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The mismatch between the code's nominal name and the actual work being bought suggests either miscoding in the source data or that this code is not actively used for spine surgery procurement at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and commissioners (Santa Clara, Harris, Collier), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and city employee health benefits programs (City of Long Beach). Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) covering approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). No active opportunities show procurement of the lumbar disc procedure named in the code itself.
