UNSPSC 85723327: Replacement of right hip joint, acetabular surface with metal synthetic substitute, uncemented, 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 metal 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 0SRA01A

UNSPSC 85723327 Replacement of right hip joint, acetabular surface with metal synthetic substitute, uncemented, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical implants and procedures. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with that surgical scope. Instead, the opportunities cluster around occupational health screening, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care networks, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve hip replacement implants or orthopedic surgical procedures. The code appears to have been misapplied or misclassified across multiple jurisdictions' procurement systems, suggesting either systematic tagging errors or a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these issuing bodies are categorizing medical services in their notices.

The issuing bodies span state health departments, county government health systems, city retirement offices, and local probation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and a response deadline of October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing with responses due October 7, 2026; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million. The code shows no relevant recent activity in actual hip replacement procurement and should not be relied upon for business development targeting orthopedic implant or surgical device contracts.
