UNSPSC 85724427: Removal of internal fixation device from coccygeal joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from coccygeal joint, external 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 0SP6X4Z

UNSPSC 85724427, Removal of internal fixation device from coccygeal joint, external approach (Commodity), shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for removal of orthopedic hardware, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care center networks, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve coccygeal joint fixation removal or related orthopedic procedures. This mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a taxonomy misalignment with the actual state and local healthcare purchasing landscape under this designation.

The recent opportunities demonstrate that state and local healthcare procurement operates across diverse issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara), county boards (Collier County, Harris County), city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington Department of Transportation). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the code's stated scope and the absence of coccygeal fixation procedures in recent opportunities, pursuit under this specific UNSPSC designation is not advised without direct confirmation from issuing bodies that their healthcare procurements align with orthopedic surgical hardware removal.
