UNSPSC 85701239: Excision of left acetabulum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0QB50ZZ

UNSPSC 85701239 Excision of left acetabulum, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code procure occupational health surveillance services, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefits carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve acetabular excision. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the state and local procurement system or a secondary use of the code for administrative health service categorization unrelated to its clinical scope. No opportunities in the source reflect procurement of the procedure itself or related surgical implants, instruments, or facilities.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span state departments, county health systems, county commissioners, and municipal retirement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal and shipyard locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the persistent divergence between the code's clinical nomenclature and the services actually being solicited, firms pursuing opportunities in this category should verify code alignment with the customer before bid preparation.
