UNSPSC 85724911: Fusion of coccygeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion 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 0SG60ZZ

UNSPSC 85724911, Fusion of coccygeal joint, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure (coccygeal fusion via open approach), yet the six recent solicitations in the source—issued by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—do not solicit surgical coccygeal fusion services at all. Instead, they purchase independent medical evaluation administration, surgical procedure carve-out network management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. The code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought under this code tag diverge substantially, signaling either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement database or misapplication of the code to opportunities unrelated to orthopedic fusion surgery.

The recent activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single state or jurisdiction dominating the record. The issuing bodies span city and county health systems, retirement pension boards, state transportation agencies, and juvenile justice departments. No representative solicitations match the code's stated scope, and no bidders appear positioned to deliver coccygeal fusion procedures under these contracts. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code definition and the actual content of recent opportunities suggests this code carries minimal relevance for business development professionals evaluating state and local procurement in orthopedic surgery or related medical services.
