This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in right hip joint, 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 0SW905Z

UNSPSC 85723051 Revision of external fixation device in right hip joint, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it does not involve orthopedic implants or surgical procedures. Instead, the code appears to be a mislabeling artifact; the opportunities solicited—independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty medical networks, and temporary clinical staffing—operate at the administrative and service-delivery layers of public-sector health plans and occupational health programs rather than at the device or surgical procedure layer the code nominally describes. State and local governments are using this code to tag healthcare administration and staffing contracts across diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county human services departments.

Geographic spread includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's nonexclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity if interpreted strictly as orthopedic surgical procedure procurement; bidders should clarify with issuing bodies whether opportunities tagged under this code align with their service offerings before investing in proposal development.
