UNSPSC 85725232: Removal of internal fixation device from right 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 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 0SP734Z

UNSPSC 85725232 Removal of internal fixation device from right sacroiliac joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal medical-procedure scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not involve orthopedic fixation-device removal; instead, they span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. The mismatch between the code's specific surgical procedure name and the actual procurement activity suggests that state and local agencies are either using this code incorrectly or that it is being applied as a catch-all administrative classification for health services generally rather than for the discrete procedure it names.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—spanning Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Absent concrete evidence that state and local governments are soliciting removal of internal fixation devices from sacroiliac joints as a distinct line item or service, the code does not present a meaningful procurement signal for vendors in orthopedic or fixation-device services.
