UNSPSC 85701207: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left acetabulum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous 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 0QP507Z

UNSPSC 85701207 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left acetabulum, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted against it reflect occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care network management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve removal of autologous tissue from an acetabulum or correspond to the code's nominal scope. State and local procurement offices have not been soliciting surgical implant removal or orthopedic procedures under this code in the recent activity available.

The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and actual procurement activity suggests either a classification error in the source data or an artifact of how state and local jurisdictions assign UNSPSC codes to health services contracts that span multiple service lines. The recent opportunities do reflect legitimate state and local healthcare and benefits activity: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits, due October 7, 2026); Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services, due September 25, 2026); Collier County (RFP for pharmacy benefit management services); and the County of Santa Clara Health System (qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026). However, none of these represent procurement of the surgical procedure named in the code. Firms pursuing contracts under this code should verify that issuing bodies have correctly classified their actual requirements before investing business development resources.
