UNSPSC 85726037: Destruction of lumbosacral disc, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of lumbosacral disc, 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 0S544ZZ

UNSPSC 85726037 Destruction of lumbosacral disc, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it involve administrative medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, benefits management, and temporary clinical staffing—work unrelated to the code's nominal procedure scope. The mismatch reflects inconsistent code assignment in state and local procurement systems rather than actual demand for the surgical procedure itself. State and local issuers posting under this code are requesting independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, pharmacy and surgical benefit carve-out administration, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. Issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits departments (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), and county health systems.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual pension applications across police and fire retirement boards, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and responses due through the City's Procurement Portal. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFQ (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations, requiring a physician board-certified in occupational medicine to conduct baseline and periodic examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, and deck crew, with a two-year term and optional five-year extensions. The City of Long Beach posted an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program offering knee, hip, spine, heart, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence for 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees. The County of Santa Clara Health System solicited proposals (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing including audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, and surgical services. Code activity shows no substantive alignment with the lumbosacral disc procedure that the UNSPSC number nominally describes.
