UNSPSC 85702356: Insertion of internal fixation device into coccyx, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into coccyx, percutaneous 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 0QHS34Z

UNSPSC 85702356 Insertion of internal fixation device into coccyx, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with a stated scope that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits management, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing services. None of these opportunities involve the insertion of internal fixation devices or any coccygeal surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic coding error in the opportunities dataset or a fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical nominal scope and how state and local procurement offices are actually applying the tag.

The opportunities that appear under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The work being solicited—medical administration, benefit design, occupational health surveillance, and staffing services—falls outside surgical device procurement or orthopedic implant supply. State and local procurement professionals evaluating activity under this code should verify the UNSPSC tagging in the source systems before committing pursuit effort, as the opportunities available under this code do not substantiate a market for the named clinical procedure.
