UNSPSC 85781217: Supplement right inguinal region with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right inguinal region with synthetic substitute, open 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 0YU50JZ

UNSPSC 85781217 Supplement right inguinal region with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedural name and the actual work being solicited by state and local governments under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve inguinal hernia repair or surgical implant procedures; instead, issuing bodies are procuring occupational health services, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations, temporary health professional staffing, and other administrative health services. The code appears to be misapplied in state procurement systems, and opportunities currently tagged to it do not reflect genuine demand for the surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing-body types. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP (HR26753) for surgery benefit management and Centers of Excellence coordination with proposals due October 7, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a qualification solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026; and Collier County posted an RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management services. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026. No genuine state or local procurement activity directly matches the code's nominal scope of inguinal hernia repair with synthetic material.
