UNSPSC 85723317: Replacement of left hip joint with metal 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 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 0SRB019

UNSPSC 85723317 Replacement of left hip joint with metal synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedures, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it reflect no procurement activity directly aligned with joint replacement implants or orthopedic device supply. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical care center-of-excellence networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the supply or procurement of hip joint prosthetics or orthopedic implants. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities posted suggests either tagging error or a jurisdictional use of the code that diverges sharply from its United Nations taxonomy intent.

The issuing bodies in the recent posting block include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), soliciting via RFP, RFI, and multiple-award qualification vehicles. Response dates cluster in the September–October 2026 window, with activity spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Without a clear alignment between the code definition and the posted opportunities, practitioners should treat this code with caution in state and local procurement and verify the actual commodity or service scope against the RFP text rather than relying on the UNSPSC tag alone.
