UNSPSC 85723314: Replacement of left hip joint with metal 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 metal 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 0SRB029

UNSPSC 85723314 Replacement of left hip joint with metal on polyethylene synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure and implant, but the recent opportunities posted under this code are procurement services—independent medical evaluation, surgery benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the purchase, supply, or implantation of hip joint prosthetics. The source material shows no recent state and local solicitations for the medical device or procedure itself.

State and local issuing bodies using this code classification have included county retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health benefit administrators (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county human resources and benefits consortia (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration evident from the limited sample. The code shows material mismatch between its stated commodity scope and the services actually being tagged in procurement systems, suggesting either systematic miscoding or use of the UNSPSC hierarchy to organize health-related services broadly rather than to specify medical devices and procedures.
