UNSPSC 85724810: Insertion of spacer into sacrococcygeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into sacrococcygeal 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 0SH508Z

UNSPSC 85724810, Insertion of spacer into sacrococcygeal joint, open approach, is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — implantation of a medical device into the sacrococcygeal joint — yet the opportunities currently solicited under this code span disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve sacrococcygeal joint spacer insertion or orthopedic implantation. The mismatch suggests either a systematic data-classification error in the source system or opportunistic use of an inactive code by state and local procurement offices to tag broader healthcare-service solicitations.

The recent opportunities show health systems and government entities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington seeking administrative healthcare services, clinician staffing, and benefit-management infrastructure rather than surgical devices or procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-outs), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing), and Collier County (pharmacy benefit management) represent the issuing bodies. No procurement activity under this code aligns with orthopedic implant supply, surgical procedure contracting, or device insertion services. Practitioners pursuing opportunities under UNSPSC 85724810 should treat this code as dormant for acquisition purposes and instead focus on codes explicitly governing healthcare staffing, benefits administration, and medical evaluation services.
