UNSPSC 85725246: Removal of internal fixation device from sacrococcygeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from sacrococcygeal 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 0SP534Z

UNSPSC 85725246 Removal of internal fixation device from sacrococcygeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—removal of an internal fixation device from the sacrococcygeal joint via percutaneous technique—yet state and local procurement opportunities posted under this code do not align with orthopedic surgical procedures or device removal. Instead, recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), disability benefit medical evaluations (Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs (Long Beach), emergency and specialty care for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County). These opportunities represent general healthcare procurement, employee health benefits management, and medical staffing—not the orthopedic surgical services the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual recent solicitation activity suggests either a tagging error in state and local procurement systems or that the code is rarely used for its intended purpose in state and local government contracting.

No representative opportunities directly solicit removal of sacrococcygeal internal fixation devices or related orthopedic surgical procedures. Geographic activity is distributed across multiple states (Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, Florida) and jurisdictions (city, county, and health system entities), but this geographic spread reflects the non-orthopedic work actually being posted under the code rather than concentration in any specialty surgical market segment. Firms pursuing work under this code should verify accurate UNSPSC classification with issuing bodies during the Q&A period or pre-bid phase, as the current tagging appears unreliable for targeting relevant solicitations.
