This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right pelvic bone, 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 0QC23ZZ

UNSPSC 85701438 (Extirpation of matter from right pelvic bone, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's medical taxonomy classification does not align with the scope of opportunities posted under it. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code are requesting occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, independent medical evaluation services, and specialty healthcare for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or bone extraction. The mismatch between the code's procedural medical scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either a tagging error across multiple jurisdictions or a classification that does not reflect current state and local buying patterns.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged with this code include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems and human resources divisions (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal procurement offices (City of Long Beach, City of Phoenix Retirement Office). Geographic activity spans Washington, California, Florida, Arizona, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP with proposals due October 9, 2026; City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026; and City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026. The tagged opportunities indicate active state and local health services procurement, but the disconnect between the commodity code descriptor and the actual work being bought warrants verification of the code's applicability before pursuing opportunities under it.
