UNSPSC 85723260: Replacement of left hip joint, acetabular surface with ceramic 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, acetabular surface with ceramic 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 0SRE039

UNSPSC 85723260 Replacement of left hip joint, acetabular surface with ceramic synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear no substantive relationship to hip arthroplasty procurement. Instead, issuing bodies are soliciting independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical care coordination through Centers of Excellence networks. The mismatch between the code's clinical-procedure nomenclature and the actual services being procured suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this Commodity code is being applied as a catch-all for medical and health-related services outside its intended scope. State and local jurisdictions issuing under the code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health authorities (Long Beach, Washington State Ferries via WSDOT), county health systems (Santa Clara), juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and county procurement divisions (Collier County), indicating fragmentation across independent administrative bodies with no evident repeat buyers driving standardized procurement patterns.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office released an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations across approximately 75 annual applications, 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 across an Anthem PPO plan covering approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, released an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services delivered across 14 locations statewide by board-certified occupational medicine physicians. Collier County issued an RFP (258414, due April 9, 2026) for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 dependents with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. The code shows no consolidated recent activity indicative of a stable, recurring procurement market.
