UNSPSC 85723228 Replacement of left hip joint, femoral surface with ceramic synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic implant procedures, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little direct alignment with surgical implant procurement or hip replacement services. Instead, the opportunities reveal a mismatch: the code is being applied to medical staffing, benefits administration, pharmacy management, occupational health surveillance, and disability evaluation services—none of which involve procurement of hip joint replacement implants or the surgical procedures themselves.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and states with no common thread to the code's nominal scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach solicited surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for hospital and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); Collier County posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System qualified temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). This code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing orthopedic implant, hip replacement equipment, or surgical device sales to state and local government entities.
