This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from sacrococcygeal 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 0SP544Z

UNSPSC 85725746, Removal of internal fixation device from sacrococcygeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the nominal scope. The opportunities actually being solicited include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve sacrococcygeal joint surgery or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities by issuing bodies or a systematic misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and actual procurement activity under this code.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities span state health departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of meaningful alignment between the code's stated scope and the work actually being procured, this code presents limited relevance for suppliers focused on orthopedic or surgical device removal services.
