UNSPSC 85724712: Removal of internal fixation device from right sacroiliac joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right sacroiliac 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 0SP704Z

UNSPSC 85724712 Removal of internal fixation device from right sacroiliac joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical procedure title and actual state and local procurement activity under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures; instead, they reflect health services contracting across independent medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence network curation, emergency youth detention medical services, and temporary clinical staffing. The code appears to be applied inconsistently or erroneously by issuing procurement offices, with no recent solicitations actually purchasing removal of sacroiliac fixation devices or related surgical implant removal.

Activity under this code spans multiple states and issuing-body types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at 14 ferry locations due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity for its stated scope and should be watched with caution pending clarification of how state and local offices are using this classification.
