UNSPSC 85723235: Replacement of right hip joint, femoral surface with synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right hip joint, femoral surface with 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 0SRR0J9

UNSPSC 85723235 Replacement of right hip joint, femoral surface with synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity does not reflect orthopedic implant procurement but rather spans medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing services. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure and implant—bears no alignment with what state and local buying offices are actually soliciting under this code number. The recent opportunities reflect administrative health services, benefits management, and workforce augmentation rather than implant procurement or surgical procedures.

Recent activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington shows no concentration in orthopedic device supply. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations for public safety personnel, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000. The City of Long Beach posted an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program offering Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures—a managed-care navigation service rather than implant supply. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an IFB (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance covering baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026), while Collier County and Santa Clara County solicited pharmacy benefit management and temporary health professional staffing, respectively. The code shows no relevant recent activity in orthopedic implant procurement and appears to be misclassified in these opportunities.
