UNSPSC 85701205: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left acetabulum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from 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 0QP50KZ

UNSPSC 85701205 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left acetabulum, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—ranging from independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations to pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and juvenile detention medical services—bear no operational connection to orthopedic implant removal or the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local governments do not appear to procure orthopedic surgical procedures or implant removals as discrete line items; these services are embedded within health plan administration, managed care contracting, or provider network arrangements that carry different UNSPSC classifications.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either misclassification in the state and local procurement system or that this particular code is rarely, if ever, used for public-sector purchasing. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code for health services opportunities before pursuing work under this taxonomy entry.
