UNSPSC 85701601: Repair left acetabulum, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left acetabulum, 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 0QQ54ZZ

UNSPSC 85701601 Repair left acetabulum, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code nominally referring to a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear little substantive connection to orthopedic repair. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out programs, and emergency/inpatient hospital services for detained youth. These solicitations span administrative health services, benefits management, and clinical staffing—not surgical repair. The issuing bodies are health system and county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice agencies rather than orthopedic providers or surgical centers. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured under it suggests the code is either misapplied in these jurisdictions' tagging systems or serves as a catch-all for health services that procurement offices cannot place more precisely within UNSPSC.

Geographic activity centers on California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with Arizona, California, and Washington each hosting one recent solicitation and Texas and Florida each hosting one. The most recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations statewide (due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability benefit determinations ($750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach's surgical procedure carve-out benefit program RFP for employees and retirees in the Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026); Santa Clara County Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and inpatient hospital services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual spending of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026). The code shows no consistent activity in orthopedic surgical repair and warrants careful review before pursuit.
