UNSPSC 85701500: Bones pelvis, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the bones of the pelvis with percutaneous endoscopic 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 85701500 Bones pelvis, percutaneous endoscopic approach—part A is a Class code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal procedural scope. The six most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit management networks, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which concern orthopedic procedures on the pelvis. The code appears to have been applied broadly to health care procurement rather than to the specific procedural service the code name describes, creating a fundamental mismatch between the code's clinical definition and actual buying activity.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), two cities (Long Beach and Seattle via state department), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county health care consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications at up to $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026) with occupational medicine board certification required; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026) across 13 clinical categories excluding nursing and physician services. Given the mismatch between code scope and actual procurement, bidders should verify code assignment during presolicitation research and Q&A cycles.
