UNSPSC 85723308: Replacement of left hip joint with ceramic on polyethylene 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 with ceramic on polyethylene 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 0SRB049

UNSPSC 85723308 Replacement of left hip joint with ceramic on polyethylene synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic implant procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency healthcare for detained youth — none of which align with hip joint replacement implants or direct surgical supply procurement. This mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the underlying procurement database or a systematic miscoding of health services at the commodity level that obscures actual procurement intent.

The recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach) across multiple regions including Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Without procurement activity clearly aligned to the code's stated scope, there is no meaningful geographic concentration or representative opportunity set to characterize for hip joint replacement implant sourcing under UNSPSC 85723308.
