UNSPSC 85702266: Excision of sacrum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0QB10ZZ

UNSPSC 85702266 Excision of sacrum, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the actual work state and local governments are buying. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not involve sacral excision surgery. Instead, the opportunities cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks for Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These are administrative healthcare services, benefits consulting, workforce management, and medical record review—none of which align with operative orthopedic surgery. The code appears to be a taxonomy classification error in the source data rather than a meaningful category for procurement.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipal governments (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Given the classification mismatch, this code warrants verification against the actual scope of work before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
