This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in left acetabulum, open 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 0QW50JZ

UNSPSC 85701102 Revision of synthetic substitute in left acetabulum, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedures, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that scope. The solicitations retrieved span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve acetabular implant revision or orthopedic surgery. The code mismatch suggests this Commodity designation may be incorrectly applied to these opportunities or that the procurement database is using the code outside its intended scope.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal governments (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and health systems (Santa Clara). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) at $750,000 over five years, the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Given the substantial mismatch between the code's orthopedic surgical scope and the actual health services, benefits administration, and staffing work being solicited, this code warrants careful re-verification before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
