This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right hip joint with ceramic on polyethylene synthetic substitute, 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 0SR904Z

UNSPSC 85723337 Replacement of right hip joint with ceramic on polyethylene synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical implant procedure. However, recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the nominal scope—the posted solicitations address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve procurement or reimbursement for hip replacement procedures or orthopedic surgical implants themselves. The code shows substantial misclassification in current state and local posting activity.

The six recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida, with issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation departments. Because the posted opportunities do not reflect the code's actual commodity scope, the code shows no relevant recent procurement activity for the orthopedic implant procedure it nominally describes. Buyers pursuing contracts under this UNSPSC code should verify the actual scope of work being requested before responding, as the current tagging does not reflect orthopedic device procurement or implant services.
