This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of lower back with synthetic substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85762957 Alteration of lower back with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure (lumbar fusion with synthetic material via open surgical approach), yet the recent opportunities posted under this code taxonomy involve medical administration, occupational surveillance, health benefits contracting, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which constitute or procure the surgical intervention the code nominates. The mismatch reflects a classification artifact in the state and local procurement system rather than actual market activity under the code's clinical scope.

State and local governments posting opportunities tagged to this code are instead buying disability medical evaluations, occupational health examinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs through centers of excellence, and ancillary health professional temporary staffing. The Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) sought independent medical evaluation services and disability record summarization for public safety pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) solicited occupational medical surveillance across ferry system locations; Santa Clara County Health System (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across thirteen specialties; and Collier County (RFP 258414) sought pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical annual spend near $8.7 million. This code carries no decision relevance to firms pursuing surgical procedure provision or implant supply to state and local entities.
