UNSPSC 85725913: Fusion of coccygeal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of coccygeal 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 0SG64JZ

UNSPSC 85725913 Fusion of coccygeal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual medical and healthcare services state and local governments are procuring. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which are surgical procedures on the coccyx or involve orthopedic implants. The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch; state and local procurement offices have tagged diverse health administration and staffing services under a highly specific clinical procedure code that does not align with what is actually being bought.

The issuing bodies include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), large counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and special-purpose district health systems. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach seeking surgical procedure carve-out and Centers of Excellence networks for its PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington with no concentration evident. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical scope and the services being solicited, this code warrants review for proper taxonomy alignment before pursuing opportunities under it.
