This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right pelvic bone, 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 0QP20JZ

UNSPSC 85701219 Removal of synthetic substitute from right pelvic bone, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the medical services state and local governments are actually purchasing under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code involve occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve orthopedic bone implant removal procedures. The code appears to be a clinical procedure taxonomy entry misapplied to operational and administrative healthcare procurement, creating a fundamental mismatch between the code's intended scope and the services governments are sourcing.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the lack of alignment between the code's orthopedic procedure scope and the healthcare administration and staffing services actually being procured, firms targeting this code should verify the intended UNSPSC classification directly with issuing bodies rather than rely on posted code accuracy.
