UNSPSC 85725908: Fusion of right sacroiliac joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right sacroiliac joint with synthetic substitute, 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 0SG74JZ

UNSPSC 85725908 Fusion of right sacroiliac joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code nominally refers to a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the state and local opportunities posted under this code do not procure surgical procedures themselves; instead, they procure medical evaluation services, healthcare benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or a misalignment between the code's clinical definition and how state and local buying offices classify healthcare services contracts. State and local governments do not typically procure individual surgical procedures through competitive solicitation; they contract for healthcare delivery, managed care networks, occupational health programs, pharmacy administration, and staffing services that may include surgical care as part of a broader offering.

The recent opportunities tagged under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies—a city retirement office (Phoenix), a city benefits administration (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara County)—spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. None of these solicitations directly purchase fusion surgery or any other named surgical procedure. The active contracts involve independent medical evaluation for disability determinations; surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence; occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; pharmacy benefit management; and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. If pursuit under this code is under consideration, the first step is to verify that the UNSPSC coding is accurate to the actual scope of work or to identify the correct code that maps to healthcare services administration, occupational health, or benefits management. Vendors should confirm code alignment with the issuing body before investing in proposal development.
