UNSPSC 85701345: Replacement of right acetabulum with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right acetabulum with synthetic substitute, percutaneous 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 0QR43JZ

UNSPSC 85701345 Replacement of right acetabulum with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement records. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure (hip replacement), yet the recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve the direct provision of orthopedic implants or hip replacement procedures themselves. This tag mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied by the issuing bodies or the commodity descriptor does not align with how state and local procurement offices are using it for contracting purposes.

The recent opportunities do not reflect genuine market activity for hip replacement implants or orthopedic surgical procedures under this specific code. Instead, the solicitations captured here span administrative and support services peripheral to healthcare delivery: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out network management (due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management (due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and the actual services being purchased, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors focused on orthopedic implants, prosthetics, or surgical consumables.
