This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of coccygeal 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 0S564ZZ

UNSPSC 85726035 (Destruction of coccygeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, shows a significant disconnect between its nominal medical procedure classification and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this tag. Recent opportunities solicited under this code do not involve coccygeal joint destruction or any specific surgical procedure; instead, issuing bodies are purchasing occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties. The code is being applied to a broad range of health benefits administration, occupational health services, and clinical staffing procurement that falls outside its stated procedural scope. State and local issuers include city retirement offices, county governments, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county judicial divisions — a diverse issuing-body mix spanning administrative health services rather than surgical procedures.

Geographic activity centers on Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida based on recent postings. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferries locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations with responses due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program (RFP, proposals due October 7, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026; and Collier County solicited pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, proposals due April 9, 2026). The code shows limited relevance to its stated procedural definition and appears to be misapplied to administrative health services and staffing procurement rather than surgical interventions.
