UNSPSC 85762925: Removal of synthetic substitute from lower back, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from lower back, 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 0WPL0JZ

UNSPSC 85762925 Removal of synthetic substitute from lower back, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the state and local procurement opportunities currently available. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgery benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve removal of synthetic material from the lumbar spine. State and local procurement systems appear to have misaligned this surgical procedure code with administrative and operational health services contracting rather than orthopedic surgery supply or implant removal work.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal employee health programs (Long Beach, Collier County), a state transportation department (Washington State DOT), a county health system (Santa Clara), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), and a county board of commissioners (Collier County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; Washington State DOT's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a two-year base term and up to five one-year renewal options; and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope, and pursuing opportunities under this category requires clarifying the actual work requirement with the issuing body before bid preparation.
