UNSPSC 85724603: Resection of coccygeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of coccygeal joint, open 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 0ST60ZZ

UNSPSC 85724603 Resection of coccygeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect healthcare administration, employee benefits management, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary staffing services — functions that fall outside surgical procedure codes. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, the City of Long Beach sought a surgical benefit carve-out program manager for employee health plans, the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, Collier County requested pharmacy benefit management services, and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these procurements involve the orthopedic surgical procedure the code describes.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error or that this code is not actively used to classify state and local healthcare procurements in the current market. State and local jurisdictions procuring healthcare services — whether medical administration, benefits management, surveillance, or staffing — do not appear to use this surgical procedure code. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local contracting purposes and consider whether the actual healthcare services being purchased (medical evaluation, benefits carve-out management, occupational health surveillance, clinical staffing) map to alternative UNSPSC classifications more closely aligned with administrative healthcare services or temporary staffing families.
