UNSPSC 85723226: Replacement of left hip joint, femoral surface with ceramic synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left hip joint, femoral surface with ceramic synthetic substitute, 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 0SRS03Z

UNSPSC 85723226 Replacement of left hip joint, femoral surface with ceramic synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical implant procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect workforce medical services, health benefits administration, and pharmacy management rather than orthopedic implant procurement or surgical procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach sought surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, and other procedures; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these represent procurement of hip joint implants or orthopedic surgical device supply.

The issuing bodies reflect a mix of state and local health agencies, retirement systems, and county human resources and health departments, with no standout repeat buyers under this code. Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (WSDOT), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The divergence between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding of recent opportunities or extremely limited state and local procurement of orthopedic implant procedures at the commodity level. Vendors pursuing this code should verify tagging accuracy with issuing bodies before investing in business development, as the recent opportunities do not support active demand for hip joint replacement implants or related surgical procedures.
