UNSPSC 85701534: Reposition right acetabulum with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right acetabulum with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0QS444Z

UNSPSC 85701534 Reposition right acetabulum with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve acetabular repositioning or internal fixation; instead, they span independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. This misalignment suggests the code is either incorrectly applied to these opportunities by the tagging systems or serves as a placeholder for a broader health services category that does not correspond to its clinical name. State and local issuing bodies using this code include city retirement boards, county governments, state departments of transportation, county health systems, and municipal employers managing employee benefits and occupational health programs.

Geographic activity spans California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (state department), Arizona (Phoenix), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no clear concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry employees across 14 Washington locations (proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services for employee health plans (proposals due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). Given the divergence between the code's stated scope and actual procurement activity, pursuing opportunities under this code requires careful review of each individual RFP to confirm the work actually required rather than relying on the code name alone.
