This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of coccygeal joint with drainage device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85725022 Drainage of coccygeal joint with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the actual work state and local governments are buying. The recent solicitations posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which align with orthopedic surgical drainage procedures. The code appears to be incorrectly applied to general health services procurement by issuing offices that may be using UNSPSC taxonomy for administrative benefits management and clinical staffing rather than for discrete medical procedures.

The issuing bodies include county health systems, county benefits administrators, state transportation departments, city pension boards, and county juvenile probation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Because the code's actual procurement activity does not reflect its medical-procedure specification, vendors should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this commodity. The activity signal itself is real and active, but the taxonomy mismatch creates significant classification risk.
