UNSPSC 85724916: Fusion of sacrococcygeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of 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 0SG50ZZ

UNSPSC 85724916 Fusion of sacrococcygeal joint, open approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged under this code solicited independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, emergency medical care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve sacrococcygeal joint fusion surgery. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the source records or a fundamental misclassification that renders the code uninformative for tracking actual purchasing patterns in this service domain.

Recent solicitations show state and local buyers (city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation departments) acquiring occupational health examinations, medical record review and summarization, specialty procedure networks, and temporary clinical staffing across Arizona, Washington, California, and Texas. Representative 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 across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Without verified alignment between the code's stated scope and the services actually being procured, this code is not actionable for business development targeting in medical services procurement.
