UNSPSC 85701541: Replacement of left acetabulum with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left acetabulum with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0QR54KZ

UNSPSC 85701541 Replacement of left acetabulum with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the sourced solicitations—independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical care networks, and temporary health professional staffing—represent administrative healthcare delivery, benefits management, and staffing services rather than the implantation of prosthetic hip replacements or any direct surgical procedure.

The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding in the source data or that the code is not actively used for state and local purchasing. State and local buyers (the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System) are issuing RFPs and RFQs for healthcare operational services—managing disability medical evaluations, administering pharmacy benefits, conducting occupational surveillance, and filling ancillary clinical staffing—none of which match the orthopedic surgical implant scope the UNSPSC code describes. This code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local healthcare procurement opportunities aligned with its stated definition.
