UNSPSC 85701149: Replacement of right acetabulum with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right acetabulum with synthetic 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 0QR40JZ

UNSPSC 85701149 Replacement of right acetabulum with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the state and local solicitations tagged under it cover administrative medical services, employee health benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention medical care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve acetabular replacement implants or surgical procedures themselves. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement rather than as a descriptor of the actual commodity or service being procured.

Recent solicitations under this code span state departments, county health systems, county juvenile probation authorities, and municipal retirement offices across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida, with no single issuing body appearing more than once. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs and Centers of Excellence management (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). The code shows activity but lacks coherence around a single service line, making it difficult to assess whether pursuing work under this classification would be strategically sound.
