UNSPSC 85725009: Excision of left sacroiliac joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left sacroiliac 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 0SB80ZZ

UNSPSC 85725009 Excision of left sacroiliac joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance services, specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve sacroiliac joint surgery or match the code's clinical scope. The opportunities instead reflect health plan administration, occupational health compliance, and staffing services that state and local governments purchase to support employee benefits and public health operations. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to administrative healthcare procurement activity rather than to surgical procedures.

State and local issuing bodies submitting under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Recent solicitations span RFPs for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-outs due October 7, 2026 (Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026 (Washington State Ferries), pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026 (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026 (Santa Clara). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Because the code's stated scope does not reflect the actual work being bought, this code merits careful review for reclassification or source-data correction before pursuit decisions are made.
