UNSPSC 85725225: Removal of internal fixation device from left sacroiliac joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left sacroiliac joint, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85725225, Removal of internal fixation device from left sacroiliac joint, percutaneous approach (Commodity), does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic implant removal or sacroiliac joint procedures. The code appears to describe a specific clinical procedure rather than a procurement service, creating a fundamental mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and the contracting activities the issuing bodies are pursuing.

The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and county health systems, with recent activity concentrated in California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties, due October 7, 2026. No procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope of orthopedic surgical device removal was evident in the source material.
