UNSPSC 85702231: Replacement of coccyx with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of coccyx with autologous 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 0QRS07Z

UNSPSC 85702231 Replacement of coccyx with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show a substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity. The recent solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve coccyx replacement or tissue substitution procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical definition.

The geographic spread of the six opportunities spans multiple states and regions: Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The issuing bodies are primarily local governments—city retirement offices, county human resources and health departments, and county health systems—rather than state health authorities or specialty surgical centers. Without evidence that these solicitations represent genuine procurement under the coccyx replacement code rather than miscoding artifacts, the code does not present a clear platform for business development at this time.
