UNSPSC 85762803: Revision of synthetic substitute in lower back, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in lower back, external 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 0WWLXJZ

UNSPSC 85762803 Revision of synthetic substitute in lower back, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code is tagged in state and local procurement systems, but recent opportunities posted under this classification do not align with orthopedic surgical procedures or medical device implantation. Instead, the tagged solicitations span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, pension medical evaluations, and surgical carve-out networks — none of which fall within the code's stated definition of lower back synthetic substitute revision surgery. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement database or that this Commodity code is rarely or never used to procure work that matches its UNSPSC definition.

The recent opportunities do reflect broader health and medical services procurement across state agencies, counties, and cities — including Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 state locations), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management for approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members), City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations), County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing for multiple ancillary clinical categories), and City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits for approximately 3,800 employees and retirees in the Anthem PPO plan). Issuers span state departments, county health systems and purchasing offices, and city retirement and benefits administration functions. Without recent opportunities actually soliciting orthopedic surgical revision services or synthetic spinal implants under this code, there is insufficient activity to characterize issuing-body concentration, geographic spread, or representative procurement patterns for the work the code nominally describes.
