This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into sacrum, 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 0QH104Z

UNSPSC 85702259 Insertion of internal fixation device into sacrum, open approach is a Commodity code that does not describe work state and local governments are actually purchasing under recent solicitations. The code nominally identifies a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve sacral fixation devices or surgical implants. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the posting systems or that the code has been repurposed in state and local procurement classifications in a way that departs substantially from its clinical definition.

The issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Collier County, Harris County), municipal employee benefits programs (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and special-purpose authorities (Washington State Ferries). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance solicitation (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows recent activity across Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, though the absence of alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement content limits confidence in treating this as a meaningful category for business development targeting.
