UNSPSC 85762956: Alteration of lower back with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of lower back with nonautologous tissue 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 0W0L0KZ

UNSPSC 85762956, Alteration of lower back with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment between its clinical surgical description and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it instead cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve lower back surgical intervention or tissue substitutes. The code appears to reflect a cataloging mismatch rather than active procurement demand for the procedure itself.

Recent activity spans multiple issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability pension applicants), the City of Long Beach (Centers of Excellence surgical benefit networks), the Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary ancillary health professional staffing). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix RFP for disability medical record summaries and physician examinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Ferries RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the Santa Clara County Health System non-exclusive qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code's recent procurement activity does not reflect the specific surgical procedure its name describes.
