UNSPSC 85701002: Revision of synthetic substitute in left acetabulum, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in left acetabulum, external 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 0QW5XJZ

UNSPSC 85701002, Revision of synthetic substitute in left acetabulum, external approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedures on specific joint components, yet the most recent opportunities tagged under it span disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical Center of Excellence networks, youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve revision of acetabular implants or surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county human services departments, state transportation agencies, and county health systems, but the scope mismatch between the code's technical surgical definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either classification error or institutional use of the code outside its intended taxonomy tier.

The recent opportunities posted under this code across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas bear no operational relationship to orthopedic implant revision surgery. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) requests a surgical Center of Excellence carve-out program managing pre- and post-care for multiple procedure types; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) solicits occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026) seeks emergency and inpatient hospital services for detained youth; Collier County (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) requests pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara County Health System (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. This code shows little genuine recent activity aligned with its stated scope and warrants verification against the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
