UNSPSC 85701439: Excision of left acetabulum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left 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 0QB53ZZ

UNSPSC 85701439 Excision of left acetabulum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the medical, healthcare administration, and occupational health services actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code. Recent opportunities show no procurement activity for the named procedure itself. Instead, state and local issuing bodies are tagging solicitations for independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth under this code, suggesting either systematic miscoding or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for healthcare and medical service contracting outside traditional clinical procedure categories.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County, Harris County in Texas), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of ferries). The mix of issuing bodies includes municipal retirement systems, county government, state departments, and county health systems. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026) providing disability medical record summaries and physician examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension disability applications with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026) covering baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations for ferries personnel across 14 Washington locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026) establishing a multi-award qualified vendor pool for ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, orthopedic, and surgical services. The code shows active procurement volume but bears little substantive relationship to its nominal procedure code.
