UNSPSC 85725770: Removal of spacer from lumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer from lumbar vertebral 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 0SP048Z

UNSPSC 85725770 Removal of spacer from lumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the state and local opportunities tagged under it in the recent activity block. The six posted solicitations span independent medical evaluation services for retirement disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara). None of these opportunities solicit the procedure named in the code or its clinical components. The mismatch suggests either that the code has been misapplied by issuing procurement offices or that the code is used generically to classify medical evaluation and staffing services that fall outside orthopedic surgery procurement proper.

Issuing bodies span state health systems, county human resources and benefits operations, county juvenile probation, municipal retirement offices, and transit authorities—a broad jurisdictional base. The geographic spread includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (state ferries system). The sole opportunity that approaches the code's stated scope is the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), which requires examinations by physicians board-certified in occupational medicine across 14 Washington locations, though this solicitation addresses baseline and periodic employee evaluations rather than spinal procedures. Given the code's title and the absence of actual orthopedic or spine-procedure procurement in the recent opportunities, the code does not represent an active or well-matched procurement category for business development targeting state and local contract opportunities.
