This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right 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 0S570ZZ

UNSPSC 85725034 Destruction of right sacroiliac joint, open approach (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management, pharmacy benefit services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve surgical destruction of sacroiliac joints or orthopedic surgical procedures. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification from a healthcare billing taxonomy that has been incorrectly applied to procurement opportunities in the occupational health and employee benefits management space. State and local issuers include city pension boards, county human resources divisions, health systems, and state transportation agencies; the issuing bodies span Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas jurisdictions.

The recent opportunities actually represent non-surgical occupational health administration and employee benefits consulting. The Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services for approximately 75 annual pension disability applications (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years). The Washington State Department of Transportation is procuring occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with physician board certification in occupational medicine required (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The City of Long Beach seeks surgical procedure carve-out benefits management for its employee health plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026). Collier County is soliciting pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026, estimated annual spend $8.7 million). Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical roles including audiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code shows no substantive alignment with recent state and local procurement and should not be used as a filtering criterion for orthopedic surgical services or related medical device procurement.
