This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into coccyx, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85702355 Insertion of external fixation device into coccyx, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity captured in recent solicitation records. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect administrative healthcare contracting, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary staffing services — none of which involve insertion of external fixation devices or direct surgical procedures. State and local bodies do procure healthcare services, but the opportunities posted under this code show minimal relevance to the code's nominal scope. The issuing bodies across the opportunities include county and state-level health systems and retirement offices across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, which suggests healthcare contracting occurs across multiple jurisdictions and issuing-body types; however, the mismatch between code definition and actual procurement content indicates either tagging error or systemic miscoding within the sourcing system.

The recent opportunities include Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing services across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent procurement activity substantively related to external fixation device insertion or comparable surgical interventions.
