UNSPSC 85725826: Insertion of spacer into lumbosacral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0SH348Z

UNSPSC 85725826 Insertion of spacer into lumbosacral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities align with the procurement or delivery of lumbosacral spacer insertion procedures as a direct service or product line.

The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the opportunities' actual scope suggests that state and local procurement offices are applying this code as a catch-all classification for medical or health-related services rather than as a specific procedural or device category. The source does not support the conclusion that state and local governments are actively soliciting lumbosacral spacer insertion procedures themselves; the issuing bodies represented—Arizona retirement pension boards, California municipal employee health systems, Washington State ferries, Harris County juvenile detention, and Florida county human resources—are purchasing administrative health services, staffing, benefit management, and medical surveillance rather than procedural interventions. This code does not present a viable procurement target for vendors focused on orthopedic surgical products or services in the state and local market.
