UNSPSC 85701224: Release right acetabulum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0QN40ZZ

UNSPSC 85701224 Release right acetabulum, open approach is a Commodity code for a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code reveal a substantial mismatch: the code shows no activity aligned with surgical implantation or orthopedic prosthetic device procurement. Instead, state and local issuing bodies are tagging medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and occupational medical surveillance under this code—none of which involve acetabular release surgery or related surgical supplies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) is procuring surgical procedure carve-out benefits and Centers of Excellence management; and the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) is purchasing occupational medical surveillance. These opportunities reflect procurement of medical services, benefits administration, and health workforce management—not implantable medical devices or surgical procedures themselves.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara), Washington (state-level ferries authority), and Florida (Collier County and Harris County), with no concentration in orthopedic device procurement or hospital-based surgical supply sourcing. Given the code's nominal scope and the absence of relevant orthopedic surgical procedure opportunities in the recent activity block, this code appears misapplied to state and local opportunities and carries minimal decision relevance for firms pursuing surgical device or orthopedic implant contracts. Pursuit of work under this code should be deferred until opportunities genuinely aligned with acetabular release procedures or related orthopedic surgical services appear in state and local procurement activity.
