UNSPSC 85725828: Insertion of infusion device into lumbosacral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device 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 0SH343Z

UNSPSC 85725828 Insertion of infusion device into lumbosacral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local government procurement. The code nominally describes a specific clinical procedure — insertion of an infusion device into the lumbosacral joint via percutaneous endoscopic technique — but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not align with that clinical scope. Instead, the tagged opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, specialty and emergency healthcare for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve the implantation or insertion of lumbosacral infusion devices.

The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the work actually being solicited suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement system or a data-quality issue in how these opportunities were tagged. State and local procurement offices do not routinely purchase lumbosacral infusion device procedures as a line item; such procedures are typically delivered within larger healthcare contracts (employee benefits, county health systems, detention facility services) or purchased by individual medical providers rather than centralized procurement offices. Because the recent opportunities present no actual demand for the procedure named in the code, this code does not represent a viable pursuit opportunity in state and local government contracting at this time.
