UNSPSC 85723231: Replacement of left hip joint, femoral surface with metal synthetic substitute, cemented, 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 metal synthetic substitute, cemented, 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 0SRS019

UNSPSC 85723231 Replacement of left hip joint, femoral surface with metal synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach is a Commodity code whose abstract name does not align with recent state and local solicitation activity. The code shows no relevant recent opportunities for orthopedic implants or surgical procedures matching its nominal scope. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension determinations, specialty surgical care coordination through Centers of Excellence, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve hip joint replacement implants or orthopedic surgical devices. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a systematic tagging error in the underlying data source.

Given the absence of opportunities actually soliciting hip joint implants or related orthopedic devices under this code, no geographic concentration, repeat buyers, or representative procurement activity can be identified from recent state and local postings. A business development professional evaluating this code for orthopedic device or implant sales should treat recent activity as a false signal and verify directly with state and local procurement offices whether this Commodity code remains active for its nominal scope or has been superseded by another classification.
