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 0SP808Z

UNSPSC 85724703 Removal of spacer from left sacroiliac joint, open approach is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no connection to the medical procedure named. The code appears to have been assigned to opportunities that are administrative and operational healthcare services — medical record review, independent medical evaluations, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and clinical staffing — rather than orthopedic surgical procedures or implant removal. State and local governments do procure medical services broadly, and the issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block include city retirement boards, county health systems, departments of transportation, county probation departments, and county human resources divisions. However, none of these opportunities reflect the specific procedure scope implied by the code's nominal title.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (total maximum contract compensation $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing services due October 7, 2026, and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope; procurement professionals should verify whether this code assignment reflects a data-entry error or whether state and local buyers are tagging administrative healthcare contracting with a procedural orthopedic code.
