UNSPSC 85701400: Bones pelvis, percutaneous approach-part B

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the bones of the pelvis with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0Q.

UNSPSC 85701400 Bones pelvis, percutaneous approach-part B is a Class code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—orthopedic or surgical implants and devices for percutaneous pelvic procedures—does not match the opportunities tagged under it in the source material. The recent solicitations include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance programs, surgical benefit carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and hospital-based emergency and specialty care for detained youth. None of these activities involve the procurement of orthopedic implants, devices, or percutaneous surgical supplies. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a divergence between the code's intended scope and its actual application in state and local procurement systems.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies—municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), and a municipality (City of Long Beach)—across multiple states including Arizona, Florida, Texas, California, and Washington. Because the opportunities represent administrative and clinical services rather than the medical devices or implants the code nominally describes, this code shows little relevant recent activity for business development professionals pursuing orthopedic device or implant contracts in state and local markets. Firms seeking to pursue work under this code should verify whether state and local procurement offices use it for actual bone and pelvic device procurement, as the current tagged opportunities do not support pursuit under the code's stated classification.
