UNSPSC 85723325: Replacement of right hip joint, acetabular surface with ceramic synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach

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, 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 0SRA039

UNSPSC 85723325 Replacement of right hip joint, acetabular surface with ceramic synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little activity directly aligned with orthopedic implant procurement. Instead, the opportunities reflect a misalignment between the code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure and implant specification—and what state and local governments are actually purchasing under this code designation. The opportunities posted include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs through Centers of Excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management services, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these align with procurement of hip joint implants or orthopedic device supply.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities span a diverse mix including a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a municipal government (City of Long Beach), a state department of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county government (Collier County), and a county health system (County of Santa Clara). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Given the mismatch between the code's clinical nomenclature and the administrative and staffing services actually being solicited, this code shows no meaningful current activity for orthopedic device procurement at the state and local level. Firms pursuing orthopedic implant business should verify that opportunities are coded correctly before investing bid effort; the code as currently tagged does not reflect a reliable procurement vehicle for hip joint implants or related surgical hardware.
