UNSPSC 85726014: Excision of lumbosacral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0SB34ZZ

UNSPSC 85726014, Excision of lumbosacral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under or tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, health plan surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve percutaneous endoscopic lumbosacral surgery or similar surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the source data or that this code is not actively used for solicitation in state and local procurement.

The recent opportunities that appear in the dataset involve medical services procurement at the City of Phoenix (disability benefit medical evaluations under an RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit network management), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance), Harris County (youth detention medical services), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County (temporary health professional staffing). These jurisdictions are buying healthcare administration, vendor coordination, and staffing services — not surgical procedures themselves. State and local governments do not typically procure specific surgical procedures through RFP or IFB vehicles; they procure managed care networks, benefit administration, and medical staffing. No recent opportunities in the source reflect procurement of lumbosacral surgical services, and the code shows little to no relevant activity for business development purposes in state and local markets.
