UNSPSC 85725756: Removal of interbody fusion device from lumbosacral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of interbody fusion device from lumbosacral joint, 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 0SP34AZ

UNSPSC 85725756 Removal of interbody fusion device from lumbosacral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a highly specific surgical procedure — percutaneous endoscopic removal of a spinal fusion device — but the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect instead a broad range of health services procurement including occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve the surgical removal procedure the code purports to describe. The issuing bodies include county governments (Santa Clara, Harris, Collier), city retirement boards (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington), and regional health systems, with no recurring pattern of repeat buyers under this code's stated scope.

Geographic spread encompasses Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity concentrated in the Pacific and Southwest regions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) focused on disability benefit determinations for public safety pension boards; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid conference August 31); and Santa Clara County Health System's multiple-award vendor pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to be applied inconsistently or incorrectly to health services and staffing procurement rather than to orthopedic surgical procedures, suggesting either a data-entry error or a significant mismatch between UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and actual procurement scope.
