UNSPSC 85723265 Replacement of left hip joint, acetabular surface with polyethylene synthetic substitute, uncemented, open approach is a Commodity code that in practice captures medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, and benefit administration services rather than orthopedic implants or surgical procedures. State and local issuers are using this code to tag health services including disability medical record review, independent medical examinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing—a significant mismatch between the nominal code description and actual procurement activity. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health departments and human resources divisions (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county probation departments (Harris County), and county boards of commissioners (Collier County). The work covers administrative health services, medical evaluation coordination, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing augmentation rather than implant procurement.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability determinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, cost-weighted evaluation at 40 percent pricing); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees (HR26753, due October 7, 2026, two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows active use across multiple jurisdictions but carries significant tagging inconsistency with its stated scope.
