This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer from sacrococcygeal joint, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85725244 Removal of spacer from sacrococcygeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity — the title describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not match that scope. The most recent solicitations involve independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance programs, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in detention. None of these opportunities involve sacrococcygeal joint procedures or related implant removal. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source material or that this code is being applied to medical services procurement in ways that diverge substantially from its clinical definition.

The issuing bodies across the recent tagged opportunities span city and county health agencies, county human resources and procurement divisions, and state transportation departments — diverse purchasing entities rather than a focused market segment. Geographic distribution includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (state-level), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Without solicitations aligned to the code's stated commodity scope, no meaningful assessment of pursuit opportunity is supported by this data.
