UNSPSC 85723239 Replacement of right hip joint, femoral surface with ceramic synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of hip replacement implants or surgical services for that procedure; instead, they show activity in medical evaluation services, health plan surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The code's abstract procedural name does not align with the concrete work state and local governments are actually buying under this taxonomy entry, and the mismatch suggests either miscoding in recent postings or drift in how the category is applied in practice.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with issuing bodies including municipal retirement systems, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation authorities. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for police and fire pension boards; the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for its Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026, historical spending approximately $8.7 million annually); and Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for a multiple-award qualified vendor pool in temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no coherent recent procurement pattern aligned to its commodity name and warrants recalibration or clarification before treating it as a reliable market segment.
