UNSPSC 85701240: Excision of right acetabulum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0QB40ZZ

UNSPSC 85701240 Excision of right acetabulum, open approach is a Commodity code intended to classify a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with its clinical scope. The opportunities posted against this code encompass comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees and dependents, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director contracts. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgical procedures or acetabular excision. The issuing bodies include county corrections departments, county boards of commissioners procuring employee health benefits, county health and human services agencies, and municipal fire departments—a mix of public safety, employee benefits, and behavioral health purchasing rather than clinical surgical services.

The code shows scattered recent activity across Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), with no clear geographic concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), and San Mateo County Health's RFP No. 2025-007 for peer support services for behavioral health workers ($580,000 total funding). The fundamental mismatch between the code's stated clinical procedure and the actual procurement activity—which centers on healthcare administration, benefits management, and support services rather than surgical interventions—suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code tier does not reflect current state and local healthcare purchasing patterns.
