This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in sacrum, external 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 0QW1XJZ

UNSPSC 85702106 Revision of synthetic substitute in sacrum, external approach is a Commodity code nominally describing orthopedic surgical procedures, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that clinical scope. The six recent solicitations tagged to this code include pension disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve sacral implant revision or orthopedic surgery in any direct sense. The issuing bodies span municipal pension offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), and county human resources divisions (Collier County), suggesting the code is being used as a catch-all medical services tag rather than as a specific surgical procedure classifier.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida based on recent postings. The most concrete opportunities are the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety disability retirements ($750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance solicitation for ferry workers across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees (historical spend $8.7 million annually, due April 9, 2026—past deadline, suggesting this posting may be stale). The code shows no meaningful recent activity in its stated domain of sacral orthopedic revision and appears systematically misapplied by these jurisdictions; vendors should verify the actual clinical or administrative scope needed before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
