UNSPSC 85725223 Removal of spacer from left sacroiliac joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical procedure carve-outs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve sacroiliac joint procedures or orthopedic devices. The code appears to be a misapplication; the state and local opportunities in the source material span occupational health compliance, municipal benefits administration, and detention-facility healthcare services rather than orthopedic surgical interventions.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county human resources consortiums (Collier County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured, this code shows little relevant recent activity for state and local medical device or surgical procedure opportunities.
