UNSPSC 85703229 "Replacement of right upper femur with synthetic substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code with minimal relevance to current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure—total hip arthroplasty—yet recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs. None of these solicitations involve procurement of orthopedic implants, surgical devices, or hip replacement supplies.

The issuing bodies and recent opportunities reflect broad health-services purchasing rather than medical device or implant procurement. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under PSPRS (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical Centers of Excellence carve-out benefit program covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County solicited pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 dependents with approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending (RFP 25-8414); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 service categories excluding nursing and physician roles (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent activity in orthopedic implant supply, surgical device distribution, or hip arthroplasty product procurement.
