UNSPSC 85701638: Extirpation of matter from right pelvic bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right pelvic bone, 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 0QC24ZZ

UNSPSC 85701638 Extirpation of matter from right pelvic bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that exhibits a significant mismatch between its clinical procedural title and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures on the pelvic bone. Instead, the code is being applied to a broad range of medical and health professional services including occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs for public employee health plans. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal retirement offices, county human resources divisions, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and public safety pension boards procuring medical administration, benefit management, and clinical staffing services.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris 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 for disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a five-year maximum compensation of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, with a two-year initial term and options to extend; the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026 on a non-exclusive multiple-award basis; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. The code's application appears to be an artifact of state and local taxonomy misalignment rather than genuine procedural procurement activity.
