UNSPSC 85701135: Reposition left acetabulum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition 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 0QS50ZZ

UNSPSC 85701135 Reposition left acetabulum, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract activity shows no alignment with surgical intervention procurement. Instead, the six most recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect health benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, disability evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve the orthopedic reposition procedure the code name suggests. The mismatch indicates that either the code is being misapplied by issuing bodies or the taxonomy entry does not reflect actual purchasing intent at the state and local level.

The opportunities span multiple issuing-body types: city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health benefit consortia (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity centers on California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (75 annual disability benefit applications, $750,000 five-year maximum, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 WSF locations (cost-weighted scoring with 40 percent on pricing, due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical specialties (due October 7, 2026). None of these opportunities involve acetabular repositioning or orthopedic surgical procedure delivery, suggesting the code assignment is an error in the issuing bodies' classification systems rather than a signal of actual market activity.
