UNSPSC 85725540: Destruction of lumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of lumbar vertebral joint, 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 0S503ZZ

UNSPSC 85725540 Destruction of lumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the state and local opportunities recently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—span administrative healthcare contracting, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing support rather than the spinal intervention procedure the code name describes. None of the solicitations involve spinal surgery or percutaneous procedures. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county benefits administration (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County), indicating the code is being applied to a broad range of public-sector health administration and occupational health needs rather than clinical procedure procurement.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum contract due October 16, 2026; Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP (258414) for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million, originally due April 9, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the spinal procedure it nominally describes; the mismatch between code label and actual solicitation scope suggests potential tagging error at the issuing-body level rather than active procurement demand for the procedure itself.
