This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right hip joint with 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 0SR90JA

UNSPSC 85723334 Replacement of right hip joint with synthetic substitute, uncemented, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it instead cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve hip joint replacement surgery or orthopedic implants. The code shows no recent state and local solicitations for the actual product or service its name denotes.

The recent opportunities span issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara Health System), and county boards of commissioners (Collier County). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (responses due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (responses due October 9, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program covering orthopedic and other specialty procedures (responses due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure title and the healthcare-services work actually being bought suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system or a broad administrative use of the code that does not align with UNSPSC guidance.
