UNSPSC 85725539: Destruction of lumbar vertebral disc, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0S523ZZ

UNSPSC 85725539 Destruction of lumbar vertebral disc, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose abstract name bears no meaningful connection to the state and local procurement activity actually being tagged under it. The recent opportunities recorded against this code reflect instead general medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out contracting — none of which involves spinal disc destruction procedures. State and local governments do not appear to solicit this specific orthopedic procedure through public procurement; the code assignment appears to be either a data-entry error or a systematic mis-tagging issue. The issuing bodies in the recent block span county human-resources and pension offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, Collier County), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county juvenile-detention authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), but their actual purchases have no alignment with the code's ostensible scope.

The geographic spread of the six opportunities includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) focused on disability-benefit medical record review and physician examination coordination for public-safety pension applicants; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide (response due October 9, 2026, cost-based scoring with lowest-price bidding); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in thirteen ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026, with no guaranteed volume). The code shows little actionable decision-making value for vendors targeting orthopedic procedure provision under state and local procurement.
