UNSPSC 85725763: Removal of synthetic substitute from lumbar vertebral disc, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from lumbar vertebral 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 0SP24JZ

UNSPSC 85725763 Removal of synthetic substitute from lumbar vertebral disc, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code for which state and local procurement activity does not align with the code's clinical procedural title. The source shows no recent opportunities for the specific spinal surgical procedure named by the code. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged under this code address occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical care network management — none of which describe removal of synthetic lumbar disc material. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in how state and local agencies have tagged their medical-services solicitations or that the code is being used as a catch-all taxonomy marker for broader healthcare procurement activity rather than the discrete procedure it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and independent regional health authorities. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 for approximately 75 annual disability determinations at $750,000 over five years; Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualified-vendor-pool solicitation due October 7, 2026; and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million. Activity concentrates in California, Washington, Arizona, and Florida, with no evidence of consistent use of this code for the spinal surgical procedure it nominally describes. Given the code-to-scope mismatch, pursuit under this UNSPSC number is not recommended without clarification from the issuing agency that the opportunity involves the specific procedure named.
