UNSPSC 85725834: Insertion of spacer into lumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0SH048Z

UNSPSC 85725834 Insertion of spacer into lumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local contract activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical center of excellence networks, independent disability medical evaluations, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve lumbar spacer insertion or any defined surgical procedure procurement.

The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities were tagged or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for actual medical device or surgical-service buying. No recent opportunities reflect procurement of lumbar spacer devices, surgical implant supplies, or procedure-specific clinical services aligned with the code's nominal scope. Buyers evaluating this code should verify its actual application in their target markets before pursuing, as the recent record shows no relevant state or local demand signal.
