UNSPSC 85725327: Insertion of internal fixation device into sacrococcygeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into 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 0SH534Z

UNSPSC 85725327 Insertion of internal fixation device into sacrococcygeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the code's nominal medical device scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect a mismatch between the code assignment and actual procurement activity. Recent solicitations include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical roles (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these opportunities involve the procurement or insertion of sacrococcygeal joint fixation devices, suggesting the code has been misapplied to broader healthcare services and benefits administration rather than orthopedic medical device procurement.

The issuing bodies span state departments, county government, municipalities, and regional health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated product category. Businesses evaluating this code should treat it as currently inactive for the medical device work its name describes and instead assess whether they compete in municipal health benefits administration, occupational health services, or temporary healthcare staffing — the activities actually appearing in the recent opportunities block.
