This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right hip joint, acetabular surface with ceramic synthetic substitute, uncemented, 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 0SRA03A

UNSPSC 85723324 Replacement of right hip joint, acetabular surface with ceramic synthetic substitute, uncemented, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical implants or orthopedic procedure-specific procurement. Instead, the recent solicitations show activity in occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care center-of-excellence carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in detention—none of which align with the procurement of hip joint replacement components or implants. The code shows a mismatch between its abstract title and what state and local governments are actually buying under it in current procurement activity. Issuing bodies span state health departments, county human resources and benefits divisions, county public health systems, and specialized public safety pension boards; the mix reflects administrative and operational health services rather than orthopedic device procurement.

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program offering Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures (due October 7, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, and Washington, with additional activity in Texas and Florida. The code does not reflect orthopedic implant procurement; vendors pursuing orthopedic device or surgical implant opportunities should verify against UNSPSC codes aligned with medical device supply and distribution rather than this commodity code.
