UNSPSC 85722942: Inspection of right hip joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to inspection of 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 0SJ9XZZ

UNSPSC 85722942 Inspection of right hip joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—clinical inspection of a specific joint by anatomical approach—does not align with the work actually being solicited under it in the available opportunities. Recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code instead pursue comprehensive occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation coordination, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, health professional temporary staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These represent distinct service families (occupational medicine program delivery, disability benefit administration, pharmacy claims processing, specialty care network management, staffing placement, and detention medical care) that do not cluster around a single orthopedic inspection service line.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), spanning multiple states and regions without concentration in one geography. A pre-bid conference for the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP is scheduled for August 31, 2026, with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeks independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool with submissions due October 7, 2026. The mismatch between the code's hip-inspection label and the diversity of actual procurement activity suggests this code may have been applied to these opportunities in error, or that the code classification itself does not serve as a useful procurement signal for state and local buyers in this domain.
