UNSPSC 85724913: Fusion of coccygeal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of coccygeal joint with synthetic substitute, 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 0SG60JZ

UNSPSC 85724913 Fusion of coccygeal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the state and local contract opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for city employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and specialty medical network management for municipal retirees and employees. None of these opportunities involve fusion surgery, synthetic joint implants, or coccygeal (tailbone) procedures. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the issuing bodies' procurement systems or a data-tagging anomaly; this code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The geographic spread of opportunities in the source spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (WSDOT), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal human resources divisions, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice authorities—a broad institutional mix. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services solicitation (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's multiple-award staffing pool for temporary health professionals across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Vendors evaluating this code should disregard its nominal UNSPSC title and assess actual buying activity under it—which currently reflects general health services procurement, not orthopedic surgery.
