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 0QQ4XZZ

UNSPSC 85701024 Repair right acetabulum, external approach is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no alignment with orthopedic surgical procedures—the code's nominal scope. Instead, the four most recent solicitations spanning August through September 2026 cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out administration for health plans, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these services involve acetabular repair or any surgical procedure. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's anatomical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a fundamental divergence between UNSPSC taxonomy and real procurement practice at these agencies.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out for city employees, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for hospital and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool, solicitation RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida, with no dominant concentration. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for surgical procedure procurement purposes and verify actual commodity alignment with procurement offices before pursuing work.
