UNSPSC 85701410: Removal of synthetic substitute from right acetabulum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right acetabulum, 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 0QP43JZ

UNSPSC 85701410 Removal of synthetic substitute from right acetabulum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the solicitations posted against it cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefit programs, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and independent medical examinations — none of which involve the removal of prosthetic joint components. The source shows a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what state and local agencies are actually procuring under this code designation.

The recent opportunities reflect medical services and healthcare administration across diverse issuing bodies: Phoenix Retirement Office (disability evaluations for firefighters and police), City of Long Beach (surgical benefit networks for employees), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty care for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. With no genuine procurement activity in orthopedic implant removal or prosthetic joint replacement services appearing in the recent opportunities, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for the specific surgical procedure it nominally describes and verify the correct code classification before pursuing opportunities in this taxonomy.
