This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in right 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 0SW9XJZ

UNSPSC 85722842 Revision of synthetic substitute in right hip joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities posted under this classification span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve hip joint prosthesis revision or surgical implants. The mismatch suggests the code may have been applied to general health services purchasing rather than to the medical device or surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

Recent activity appears across diverse issuing bodies including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems, with no dominant repeat buyer. The geographic spread includes Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, cost-weighted evaluation, two-year term with options to extend), the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefits carve-out RFP for Centers of Excellence networks (due October 7, 2026, targeting knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures). The code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors selling or servicing hip replacement implants or orthopedic surgical devices; potential bidders should verify code accuracy before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification.
