This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in right 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 0QW40JZ

UNSPSC 85701106 Revision of synthetic substitute in right acetabulum, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure specific to hip joint replacement; however, the recent solicitations tagged under this code do not procure that service or related surgical implants. Instead, they address occupational health surveillance, medical evaluation administration, pharmacy benefit management, employee health plan carve-outs, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve orthopedic implants or surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests a data-classification anomaly rather than active state and local demand for hip-replacement procedures themselves.

The six recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies with no cohesive procurement pattern under the code's stated scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for disability medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); Collier County Commissioners posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, now past); and Santa Clara County Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). None of these opportunities center on the procurement or supply of orthopedic implants, surgical revision services, or related medical devices. Buyers pursuing state and local volume under this code should clarify the actual commodity or service UNSPSC classification with procurement offices before bid preparation, as the current tagging does not reflect genuine market activity.
