UNSPSC 85701210: Removal of synthetic substitute from right acetabulum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right 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 0QP40JZ

UNSPSC 85701210 "Removal of synthetic substitute from right acetabulum, open approach" is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical implant removal or procedure-specific work. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out program management, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare provision, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the code's clinical procedure scope.

The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure nomenclature and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data classification error in the source opportunities or a fundamental misalignment in how this particular code is being applied in state and local procurement systems. Without evidence of recent, properly classified opportunities reflecting the code's stated scope, no reliable characterization of issuing-body type, geographic concentration, or representative procurement activity can be drawn. Firms evaluating this code should verify current classification practice directly with procurement offices in their target markets rather than relying on the available recent-opportunity record.
