This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left hip joint, external 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 0SWBX4Z

UNSPSC 85722838 Revision of internal fixation device in left hip joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure involving hip joint repair—does not match the nature of opportunities recently posted under this classification.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP, October 16, 2026); surgical benefit carve-out administration through Centers of Excellence (City of Long Beach, RFP, October 7, 2026); occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP, October 9, 2026); emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI, September 25, 2026); pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP, April 9, 2026); and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFP, October 7, 2026). None of these procurements involve orthopedic devices, joint reconstruction implants, or surgical hardware—the category's core domain. The code appears to be a data-tagging error or a miscategorization by issuing bodies; the opportunities reflect administrative health services, workforce management, and benefits administration rather than medical device supply or orthopedic surgery-related procurement. This code shows no usable recent state and local activity for vendors offering hip joint fixation devices or related surgical hardware and supplies.
