UNSPSC 85723343: Replacement of right hip joint with metal on polyethylene synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right hip joint with metal 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 0SR902Z

UNSPSC 85723343 Replacement of right hip joint with metal on polyethylene synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows substantial misalignment between its nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually soliciting. Recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic joint replacement procedures or the purchase of prosthetic implants. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county health systems, city retirement offices, county commissioners' procurement divisions, and county juvenile probation departments. The scope divergence suggests either a systematic tagging error in the source data or an overly broad code application that captures medical administration and health professional services rather than the surgical implant procedure the code nominally describes.

Geographic activity spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP, due October 9, 2026), Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation RFP for disability determinations, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP, due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing RFP, due October 7, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP, due April 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty and emergency medical services RFI, due September 25, 2026). The code exhibits no meaningful recent activity aligned with its stated commodity description — hip replacement implants for open surgical approach — and business development professionals should treat this classification as unreliable for targeting orthopedic implant or surgical device opportunities at the state and local level.
