UNSPSC 85701245: Drainage of right acetabulum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 0Q940ZZ

UNSPSC 85701245 Drainage of right acetabulum, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a clinical surgical procedure descriptor, yet recent state and local contract opportunities demonstrate no alignment with this orthopedic surgical code. The recent solicitations posted under this code involve occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence networks, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which concern acetabular drainage or orthopedic surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in state and local procurement systems or a code-classification anomaly that does not reflect actual purchasing intent.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span state departments, county governments, and municipalities: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefits management), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention medical services), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with posting dates spanning July through September 2026 and response windows extending into October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix disability medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), neither of which involves surgical procedures. Given the systematic disconnection between the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement activity, firms evaluating this code should verify whether the underlying classification system has miscoded these opportunities or whether the code itself carries different procurement meaning in state and local contexts than its orthopedic clinical descriptor suggests.
