UNSPSC 85723338: Replacement of right hip joint with ceramic on polyethylene 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 with ceramic on polyethylene 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 0SR904A

UNSPSC 85723338 Replacement of right hip joint with ceramic on polyethylene synthetic substitute, uncemented, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic implant procurement, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reveal a significant mismatch: none of the posted solicitations involve the purchase or provision of hip joint replacements or orthopedic implants. Instead, the code is being applied to healthcare services including disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs, and specialty medical services for detained youth. This misclassification suggests the code sees minimal or no authentic recent procurement activity aligned with its stated scope, and firms evaluating opportunities here should treat the tagged notices as misfiled rather than representative of actual demand for orthopedic implant products or related procurement under this Commodity tier.

No state or local government opportunities for replacement hip joint devices or components appear in the recent-opportunities block. The geographic and issuing-body mix — spanning Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (WSDOT), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County) — and the diversity of buying entities (municipal retirement systems, county health departments, regional transit authorities, county commissioners offices) do not signal sustained market activity in the orthopedic implant space. Firms should verify current UNSPSC classification with state and local procurement offices before committing resources to pursuit under this code.
