UNSPSC 85725772: Removal of internal fixation device from lumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device 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 0SP044Z

UNSPSC 85725772 Removal of internal fixation device from lumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local procurement opportunities recently tagged to this code reflect demand for occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which align with spinal surgical device removal. The mismatch indicates this code is not currently capturing state and local procurement activity in its stated medical or surgical domain.

The recent opportunities posted under this code span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issued by a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), a state department of transportation (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), and a county board of commissioners (Collier County). The work actually being solicited ranges from physician-led independent medical evaluations ($750,000 over five years) to Centers of Excellence surgical networks for PPO members to occupational health examinations across multiple worksites. No recent opportunities target the surgical removal of spinal fixation devices or related device-focused orthopedic procedures. Bidders and business development professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under 85725772, as current posting practice does not reflect the code's defined scope.
