UNSPSC 85723255: Replacement of left hip joint, acetabular surface with synthetic substitute, uncemented, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left hip joint, acetabular surface with synthetic substitute, uncemented, 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 0SRE0JA

UNSPSC 85723255, Replacement of left hip joint, acetabular surface with synthetic substitute, uncemented, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains six recent solicitations tagged under this code, yet none solicits orthopedic implants, surgical devices, or prosthetic materials—the category's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency youth detention health services. The code appears to have been incorrectly applied to these procurements, which concern healthcare administration, staffing, and service delivery rather than the purchase or implantation of hip prosthetics.

The mismatch between code and scope suggests limited relevance for vendors supplying orthopedic implants or related surgical devices to state and local buyers. No recent opportunities in the source actually purchase hip joint replacements, synthetic ortho­pedic components, or implantable medical devices. Firms pursuing contracts under this code should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies and monitor procurement channels for correctly tagged orthopedic supply or surgical device solicitations.
