UNSPSC 85725513: Excision of lumbosacral disc, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of lumbosacral 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 0SB43ZZ

UNSPSC 85725513 Excision of lumbosacral disc, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with no recent state or local procurement activity aligned to its clinical scope. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect broader healthcare service procurement—occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgery carve-out programs, disability medical evaluations, and inpatient care for detained youth. These solicitations span medical evaluation and administration, not procedural surgery itself, indicating either persistent UNSPSC categorization misalignment or irregular use of the code for healthcare procurement that diverges substantially from the code's stated procedure.

State and local issuers pursuing healthcare services under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), transit agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), and large municipalities (City of Long Beach). Representative current opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, requiring examinations across 14 ferry terminals by occupational medicine physicians; the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence due October 7, 2026, targeting knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; and Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (audiology, imaging, gastroenterology, therapy, surgical, and sterile processing) due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Arizona, California, and Washington.
