UNSPSC 85723328: Replacement of right hip joint, acetabular surface with metal 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 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 0SRA019

UNSPSC 85723328 Replacement of right hip joint, acetabular surface with metal synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show little alignment with that narrow clinical scope. Instead, the code is being applied to solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and surgical care network management — none of which involve hip joint replacement procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, the City of Long Beach, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System represent the issuing bodies, spanning state departments, county agencies, and city procurement offices. The work actually being solicited includes independent medical record review and disability benefit determinations, occupational health examinations across multiple worksites, specialty surgical center networks, pharmacy claims administration, and vendor pools for temporary clinical staffing.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (Phoenix), Washington (statewide ferry system operations), Texas (Houston area), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), and Florida (Collier County), indicating activity across multiple regions without a single concentrated jurisdiction. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, covering 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations statewide; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services initially posted in 2025 with historical annual spending around $8.7 million. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity (orthopedic joint replacement) and the clinical-administrative services being procured suggests that either the code has been misapplied by issuing bodies or the code's scope in state and local procurement practice diverges substantially from its UNSPSC definition.
