UNSPSC 85725722: Removal of synthetic substitute from left sacroiliac joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left sacroiliac joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0SP84JZ

UNSPSC 85725722 Removal of synthetic substitute from left sacroiliac joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal designation reflects orthopedic surgical procedure coding; however, recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not align with that clinical scope. Instead, the solicitations tracked under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans. The mismatch between the code's clinical name and the actual work being procured suggests that state and local procurement offices may be misapplying this code to general health services administration and benefits management rather than to the specific orthopedic procedure it nominally describes. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional health systems. No single issuer appears more than once in the recent record.

Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026 with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; and the City of Long Beach's request for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for Anthem Blue Cross PPO enrollees, due October 7, 2026 with go-live targeted for April 1, 2027. The Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories remains open for proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows little recent activity directly aligned to orthopedic joint procedures and should be treated as a misclassification signal rather than a reliable procurement indicator for that clinical service line.
