UNSPSC 85726006: Extirpation of matter from lumbosacral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0SC34ZZ

UNSPSC 85726006 Extirpation of matter from lumbosacral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that in practice captures a narrow range of surgical procedure identifiers. However, the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show minimal alignment with the nominal scope — the opportunities instead span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determination, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the posting systems or that this UNSPSC identifier is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement when more specific medical codes are unavailable. None of the six opportunities in the block describe spinal surgery or percutaneous endoscopic procedures.

The issuing bodies span a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), two counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department and Collier County Board of County Commissioners), two cities (Phoenix and Long Beach), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations due October 16, 2026 at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Because the code shows no recent opportunities genuinely matching its stated definition, this category presents negligible pursuit opportunity for firms focused on spinal surgical services or related orthopedic product supply.
