UNSPSC 85724430: Removal of internal fixation device from sacrococcygeal joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from sacrococcygeal 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 0SP5X4Z

UNSPSC 85724430 Removal of internal fixation device from sacrococcygeal joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and the medical and health services state and local governments actually buy under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect broad health administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and clinical staffing rather than sacrococcygeal fixation removal. State and local buyers using this code include county retirement boards, municipal human resources divisions, state transportation departments, county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and county procurement offices acting on behalf of health consortiums. The work actually being solicited spans independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, occupational health examinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit administration, emergency and specialty care for youth in custody, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing placement.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the most recent opportunities originating from Phoenix's retirement office (RFP for disability medical evaluations, $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), Long Beach's human resources division (RFP for surgical procedure centers of excellence, due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation's ferries division (RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington locations, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department in Texas (RFI for specialty and emergency medical services, due September 25, 2026), Collier County, Florida (RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, due April 9, 2026), and County of Santa Clara Health System in California (qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 categories, due October 7, 2026). The code demonstrates low relevance to its stated clinical procedure; the mismatch suggests either classification error or institutional coding drift within state and local procurement systems.
