UNSPSC 85725530: Drainage of lumbar vertebral disc with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of lumbar vertebral disc with drainage device, 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 0S9230Z

UNSPSC 85725530 Drainage of lumbar vertebral disc with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 solicit independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out networks for employee health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical roles (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations concern spinal procedures, percutaneous drainage devices, or the specific clinical intervention the code describes. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in state and local procurement systems rather than an active procurement category.

State and local issuing bodies tagging this code are purchasing broader medical administration, occupational health compliance, behavioral health evaluation, and workforce staffing services—administrative and management functions with no connection to the orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited indicates that this code does not represent a meaningful market signal for vendors in the spinal device, orthopedic surgery, or hospital procedure space.
