This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into coccyx, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0QHS45Z

UNSPSC 85702455, Insertion of external fixation device into coccyx, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that appears to reflect a misalignment between the nominal taxonomy and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations tagged under this code do not involve orthopedic medical devices or coccygeal fixation procedures; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and related administrative healthcare services. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), reflecting a broad mix of public-sector healthcare procurement.

The geographic distribution of recent activity includes Washington State, Arizona, Texas, Florida, and California, with no single jurisdiction dominating. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for ferry workers across 14 locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) to support disability pension determinations, with total maximum compensation of $750,000 over five years; and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026) for Centers of Excellence networks covering approximately 3,800 employees and retirees. The code shows little relevant recent activity—the solicitations are healthcare-administrative services, not implantable orthopedic devices—and the tagging appears erroneous rather than reflective of active procurement demand under the code's nominal scope.
