UNSPSC 85723341: Replacement of right hip joint with ceramic 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 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 0SR903A

UNSPSC 85723341, Replacement of right hip joint with ceramic synthetic substitute, uncemented, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic implant procedure—does not align with the state and local opportunities currently posted under this taxonomy. Recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these procurements involve hip joint replacement implants or related surgical supplies.

The mismatch between the code's procedure-specific definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in state and local procurement systems or that this Commodity code is not actively used for its intended scope by the jurisdictions posting opportunities. Buyers pursuing work under UNSPSC 85723341 should verify the code assignment during pre-bid or clarification cycles when responding to opportunities, as the taxonomy may not reliably signal the type of orthopedic implant procurement it nominally describes.
