UNSPSC 85723335: Replacement of right hip joint with 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 with 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 0SR90J9

UNSPSC 85723335 Replacement of right hip joint with synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health plan surgical carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve implantation of hip prosthetics or direct surgical services. This suggests systematic misclassification of healthcare service opportunities within state and local procurement systems rather than genuine activity in joint replacement procurement.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). These represent a mix of municipal, county, and state issuing bodies focused on benefits administration, occupational health programs, and clinical staffing — not orthopedic device procurement. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration evident in orthopedic or surgical supply markets. The absence of device vendors, surgical centers, hospitals procuring implants, or any opportunity genuinely matching hip joint replacement work indicates this code carries no actionable current activity in its stated domain.
