This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left acetabulum with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0QU507Z

UNSPSC 85701121 Supplement left acetabulum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local contracting activity shows no alignment with this code's ostensible scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs through Centers of Excellence networks, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing qualification pools, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve acetabular reconstruction or autologous tissue grafting. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county pension boards, county health systems, county juvenile justice agencies, and municipal retirement offices. This code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between its formal description and actual procurement usage suggests a classification error or a systematic labeling issue rather than genuine demand for orthopedic implant or surgical procedure services.

The geographic spread of recent postings spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) exemplifies the actual scope dominating this code: medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations by board-certified occupational medicine physicians, with baseline, periodic, and exit evaluations aligned to state regulatory requirements. Similarly, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks disability medical record summaries and coordination of independent psychiatric and medical examinations for approximately 75 annual pension benefit applications at $750,000 over five years. Procurement professionals should verify code assignment with the issuing body before pursuing opportunities under this Commodity; the current tagging appears disconnected from the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally identifies.
