UNSPSC 85702256: Insertion of external fixation device into coccyx, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into 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 0QHS05Z

UNSPSC 85702256 Insertion of external fixation device into coccyx, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity shown in the recent opportunity records. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations posted under this code span inmate healthcare contracting, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care services, peer mental health support for workers, and fire department medical director services—none of which involve insertion of external fixation devices into the coccyx or orthopedic surgical procedures of any kind. This indicates a tagging mismatch between the UNSPSC classification and the actual work being procured, resulting in minimal relevant activity under the code.

The recent opportunities present across four states—Georgia (Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management and Monroe County virtual primary care), and California (San Mateo County peer support services and Santa Monica Fire Department medical director)—but none reflect orthopedic surgery, surgical devices, or fixation procedures. Given the absence of procurement activity aligned with the code's stated commodity definition, the code shows little current pursuit opportunity for vendors offering external fixation devices or related surgical implants to state and local governments.
