This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into coccygeal 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 0SH634Z

UNSPSC 85725324, Insertion of internal fixation device into coccygeal joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that exhibits a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code's medical terminology describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employees, temporary health professional staffing qualification pools, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgical fixation devices or implantable hardware.

The geographic spread of the recent posting includes Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies spanning state departments, municipal governments, counties, and county health systems. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its procedural descriptor, and state and local procurement activity does not appear to use this UNSPSC code for its intended medical device category. This signals either a systematic miscoding issue in state and local databases or a code rarely applied to actual government contracting in the state and local space.
