UNSPSC 85762916: Supplement lower back with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement lower back with synthetic substitute, open 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 0WUL0JZ

UNSPSC 85762916 Supplement lower back with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear no material relation to spine surgery or orthopedic implants. Instead, the opportunities reflect procurement for inmate medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer mental health support, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve spinal fusion or synthetic vertebral implants. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the work actually being solicited indicates that this Commodity code shows little relevant recent activity in the state and local procurement marketplace.

The four opportunities posted between February and April 2026 span diverse issuing bodies — a county consolidated government (Muscogee County, Georgia), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), a county health department (Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health authority (San Mateo County, California), and a city fire department (Santa Monica, California) — and none address orthopedic medical devices or surgical supplies. Responses are due across a four-month window (from April through July 2026), and contract values range from $580,000 for the San Mateo peer support pilot to approximately $8.7 million annually for the Collier County pharmacy program. This code classification issue suggests either a data-entry error in the source system or a systematic tagging problem that obscures true activity under UNSPSC 85762916. Business development professionals should verify the accuracy of the code assignment before allocating pursuit resources.
