UNSPSC 85725012 Excision of sacrococcygeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code bears no relationship to surgical orthopedic work — the code shows a systematic mismatch between its official name and the actual goods and services being solicited. The recent opportunities under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational health surveillance programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and specialty medical carve-out networks for employee health plans. None of these solicitations involve sacrococcygeal joint excision or any orthopedic surgical procedure. The code appears to be applied inconsistently or incorrectly by issuing bodies, and firms evaluating pursuit decisions should treat this code as showing little relevant recent activity for spine or orthopedic surgical services.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human resources divisions (Santa Clara County, Collier County, Harris County), and municipal employee benefits offices (Long Beach). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out networks (HR26753, proposals due October 7, 2026). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, and Washington, with no clear geographic concentration. Business development professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before investing pursuit resources, as the taxonomy appears misaligned with actual procurement intent.
