UNSPSC 85762955: Alteration of lower back, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of 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 0W0L0ZZ

UNSPSC 85762955 Alteration of lower back, open approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the state and local contract opportunities currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code include inmate medical and pharmacy services procurement, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care platform services, peer support workforce development, and fire department medical direction — none of which involves surgical alteration of the lower back. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to healthcare contracting opportunities that fall outside orthopedic surgical scope, suggesting either data-tagging error or a broad misclassification in the underlying procurement system.

The geographic spread of the few identifiable opportunities spans Georgia (Muscogee County Prison medical services, RFP posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management, RFP posted April 9, 2026, due April 9, 2026; Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care, RFP posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026), California (San Mateo County peer support pilot, RFP posted February 25, 2026, due July 2, 2025), and California (Santa Monica Fire Department medical direction, RFP posted February 25, 2026, due October 16, 2025). Issuing bodies include county governments and municipal fire departments. Given the disconnect between the code's name and the actual work being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing orthopedic surgical services to state and local entities.
