UNSPSC 85702253: Release coccyx, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release coccyx, 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 0QNS0ZZ

UNSPSC 85702253 Release coccyx, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the five recent state and local opportunities tagged under it encompass inmate medical and pharmacy services, county pharmacy benefit management, county virtual primary care and urgent care services, a behavioral health peer support pilot project, and a fire department medical director contract. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic or surgical services, and the coccyx-release procedure does not appear as a line item, deliverable, or scope element in any of them. The mismatch between the code's surgical definition and the healthcare administration and employee health plan work actually being procured suggests either systematic miscoding or that the code is rarely used for purchases it was designed to describe.

This code does not support procurement decision-making for business development professionals focused on the work it nominally covers. No recent state or local government opportunities directly solicit orthopedic surgical procedures, medical devices, or services related to coccyx release. If pursuing healthcare services contracts with state and local agencies—employee health plans, county health departments, or institutional healthcare providers—firms should focus instead on UNSPSC codes that map to pharmaceutical services, managed care administration, primary care delivery, or institutional healthcare contracting, which the recent activity demonstrates are the actual categories generating current procurement volume at the state and local level.
