This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into lumbosacral disc, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85725821 Insertion of spacer into lumbosacral disc, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities tagged under it cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability benefit evaluations, surgical benefits administration for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, and center-of-excellence surgical networks. None of these solicitations involve insertion of lumbosacral disc spacers or spine surgery procurement—the disconnect between the code name and the work actually being bought is substantial and consistent across the recent opportunities block.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city agencies (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries). Geographic coverage spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at ferry system locations due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Long Beach RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity for spine surgery devices or orthopedic implant procurement.
