UNSPSC 85702244 Removal of internal fixation device from coccyx, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with orthopedic or surgical services. The actual solicitations posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve coccyx surgery or internal fixation device removal. The issuing bodies include county correctional facilities (Muscogee County, Georgia), county human resources and benefits programs (Collier County, Florida), county health departments (Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured suggests either a systematic tagging error in state and local procurement databases or that this code is being misapplied to general medical services contracting.

Recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (posted April 15, 2026; due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison covering 576 offenders, with current monthly costs of $95,537.71 and a two-year contract term with three optional one-year renewals; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 (posted April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical spending of $8.7 million annually; Monroe County's RFP (posted March 14, 2026; due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members with an anticipated award in June 2026 and October 1, 2026 effective date; San Mateo County BHRS's RFP No. 2025-007 for peer support services with $580,000 total funding; and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP 455 (posted February 25, 2026) for a fire department medical director. Geographic activity spans California, Florida, and Georgia, with no standout concentration. Given the mismatch between code taxonomy and procurement practice, this code warrants review for corrective tagging before building a business development strategy.
