UNSPSC 85763048: Alteration of lower back with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of lower back with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 0W0L3KZ

UNSPSC 85763048, Alteration of lower back with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code showing significant misalignment between its nominal clinical scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code does not appear in state and local solicitations actually seeking spinal surgical procedures; instead, recent opportunities tagged to this code describe independent medical evaluations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for public employee health plans. The solicitations cover medical administration, benefits consulting, and provider network management rather than surgical intervention itself.

The issuing bodies represent a broad mix of state and local jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension board administration), the City of Long Beach (municipal employee benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (state agency), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (county youth services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (county human resources and benefits), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (county health system). Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards' RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, at $750,000 maximum over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026. Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear geographic concentration. The code appears to carry a data-entry or classification artifact rather than genuine procurement intent for spinal surgical procedures; vendors should verify code alignment with customer procurement offices before pursuing these opportunities.
