This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left hip joint, femoral surface with metal 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 0SRS01Z

UNSPSC 85723229 Replacement of left hip joint, femoral surface with metal 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 procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect demand for hip replacement implants or related surgical devices. Instead, the opportunities capture medical services procurement — disability evaluation coordination, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out network administration, specialty pharmacy management, youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing placement. The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). No repeat buyers appear in the recent block.

The geographic spread across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington reflects distributed state and local activity rather than concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code's nominal product focus and the actual service-based work being solicited diverge significantly, suggesting the code is being misapplied to these health services opportunities and presents limited relevance for vendors focused on orthopedic implant manufacturing or supply.
