UNSPSC 85701000: Bones pelvis, external approach

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the bones of the pelvis with external approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0Q.

UNSPSC 85701000 Bones pelvis, external approach is a Class code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal orthopedic surgical scope. The six opportunities tagged under this code — independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System) — are administrative healthcare services, benefits management, or occupational health programs that do not involve pelvis bone surgical procedures or external approach orthopedic work. The mismatch between the code's intended scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the jurisdictions' tagging or that this code does not currently attract relevant state and local solicitations.

State and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect recent opportunities for orthopedic surgical services, implants, or related medical device supply. Business development professionals should verify whether their orthopedic or surgical-device offerings align with a higher-level family or segment code, or monitor this code sporadically to detect when tagging practices shift toward actual bone and joint surgical work.
