UNSPSC 85725165 "Supplement sacrococcygeal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this code designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve orthopedic joint supplementation procedures or related medical devices. The mismatch suggests this code is being applied to capture a broad range of public-sector healthcare procurement activity rather than the specific clinical procedure the code name describes. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and boards (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with additional activity implied across other states.

Recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry employees across 14 Washington locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services through Centers of Excellence for city employees and retirees, due October 7, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026; Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees against historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026. This code shows active healthcare-related procurement across multiple jurisdictions and service lines, but the link between the code designation and current solicitation scope warrants clarification before pursuit.
