UNSPSC 85724917: Fusion of sacrococcygeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of sacrococcygeal joint with nonautologous tissue 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 0SG50KZ

UNSPSC 85724917 Fusion of sacrococcygeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—bear no relationship to sacrococcygeal joint fusion or orthopedic implant procurement. This appears to be a classification mismatch in the source data rather than a signal of active demand for the procedure code's stated scope.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), large urban and county governments (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Collier County, Harris County), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara). The geographic distribution includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Given the absence of opportunities genuinely aligned with the code's orthopedic surgery definition, business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for sacrococcygeal fusion procedures rather than pursue leads under this code.
