UNSPSC 85725228: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right sacroiliac joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right sacroiliac joint, percutaneous 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 0SP73KZ

UNSPSC 85725228, Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right sacroiliac joint, percutaneous approach (Commodity), shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal clinical scope. The code designation appears mismatched to the state and local opportunities currently tagged under it. The most recent solicitations instead reflect procurement of occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out management, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the specific orthopedic surgical procedure or implant removal named in the code.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments, counties, and municipalities, including the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability benefit applications (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach Centers of Excellence surgical benefit carve-out RFP for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle covering ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The procurement activity reflects administrative, occupational health, and benefits management functions rather than direct procurement of the orthopedic implant or surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Unless the code is intended to capture benefits administration and medical services procurement more broadly, the mismatch between code designation and actual buying activity suggests this code may not represent a reliable target for vendors offering orthopedic implants or sacroiliac joint procedures.
