UNSPSC 85702230: Replacement of coccyx with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of coccyx with synthetic 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 0QRS0JZ

UNSPSC 85702230, Replacement of coccyx with synthetic substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's abstract scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The six most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits management, pharmacy benefit administration, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involves procurement of coccyx replacement implants or related surgical supplies; instead, they reflect medical services contracting—evaluation, management, staffing, and administration—that falls outside the device or surgical-supply scope the code nominally describes.

The posting bodies include a state transportation department (Washington), county government (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), a municipal retirement system (City of Phoenix), and a city health system (City of Long Beach). Geographic spread extends across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The apparent coding mismatch suggests either a data-classification anomaly or a jurisdictional tagging practice that does not reflect the actual commodity. For vendors in surgical implants, orthopedic devices, or related medical products, this code warrants verification with issuing bodies before pursuit, as recent activity does not support the code's stated scope.
