UNSPSC 85701131: Resection of left acetabulum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of 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 0QT50ZZ

UNSPSC 85701131 Resection of left acetabulum, open approach is a Commodity code that does not describe state and local government procurement activity reflected in recent solicitations. The code nominates a specific surgical procedure (orthopedic resection of the acetabulum via open surgical approach), but the recent opportunities tagged under it involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgery or acetabular resection. State and local procurement of surgical procedures occurs at hospitals and health systems, but the recent record shows no direct solicitations for orthopedic surgical services under this code.

The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being procured suggests that either the code has been applied incorrectly to these opportunities or the code itself does not capture the operational medical and administrative contracting that state and local health authorities and pension boards are conducting. The six recent opportunities span Phoenix's pension disability medical evaluation (RFP, response due October 16, 2026), Long Beach's surgical procedure carve-out benefit program (RFP, response due October 7, 2026), Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance (RFP, response due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI, response due September 25, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services (RFP, response due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (RFQ, response due October 7, 2026). These span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but no orthopedic surgical service procurement appears in any of them. Firms pursuing orthopedic surgical contracting with state and local bodies should verify code assignment through the issuing jurisdiction before investing in proposal development.
