UNSPSC 85701145: Replacement of left acetabulum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left acetabulum with nonautologous 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 0QR50KZ

UNSPSC 85701145, Replacement of left acetabulum with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of state and local government procurement activity currently tagged to it. The recent opportunities classified under this code—independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational health surveillance for state ferries, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent administrative and occupational health services, not orthopedic implant procurement or surgical procedures. State and local buyers are acquiring medical administration, staffing placement, and insurance management services through these solicitations, not joint replacement supplies or surgical interventions. The issuing bodies span municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), large city benefits departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation and health systems (Harris County, Santa Clara County), and county government benefits administration (Collier County).

Recent activity concentrates in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations with a $750,000 five-year contract maximum (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code's nominal scope—orthopedic implant procedures—does not align with any of these opportunities, signaling either persistent misclassification in the source data or administrative coding that does not reflect actual work being procured.
