UNSPSC 85701424: Release right acetabulum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0QN43ZZ

UNSPSC 85701424 Release right acetabulum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally names a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it do not reflect orthopedic or surgical procedural services. Instead, the code shows activity in occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical carve-out programs for employee benefit plans. The issuing bodies include county health systems, county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, state departments of transportation, county probation departments, and large municipal employers. The concrete work being solicited spans medical record review and summarization for disability determinations, occupational medicine examinations across multiple work sites, pharmacy claims processing and formulary management, temporary clinical staffing placement across ancillary specialties, and Centers of Excellence network management for elective surgical procedures.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications, due October 16, 2026, at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, is requesting proposals for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; the City of Long Beach is soliciting proposals for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026, for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees; the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026; Collier County is issuing an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026. The code shows no discernible concentration; recent activity reflects a mismatch between the nominal code definition and the health services administration and occupational health work state and local buyers are actually procuring under it.
