UNSPSC 85725749: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lumbosacral disc, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lumbosacral disc, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0SP44KZ

UNSPSC 85725749 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lumbosacral disc, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it show no alignment with spine surgery or orthopedic implant removal. The six posted solicitations across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington between July and September 2026 solicit occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out networks, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve spinal disc procedures or tissue substitutes. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and what state and local agencies are actually buying under this tag suggests the code receives little relevant recent procurement activity and may be misapplied in the indexing systems issuing bodies use.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county human resources and procurement offices, state transportation departments, health systems, and county probation agencies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluations due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance proposals due October 9, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026; and Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026 (already closed). Geographic activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no recent opportunities in other states. The disconnection between the code definition and the work actually being bought suggests business development professionals should verify code alignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this Commodity.
