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, 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 0SR9029

UNSPSC 85723345 Replacement of right hip joint with metal on polyethylene synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical implant—and the recent state and local opportunities actually tagged under it. The recent solicitations cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve procurement of hip joint implants or orthopedic devices. The issuing bodies represent a mix of municipal retirement systems, city health benefits programs, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice authorities, county human resources divisions, and regional health systems across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas.

The code shows no recent relevant activity for state and local procurement of the orthopedic implant device it nominally describes. The opportunities in the source material appear to have been misclassified under this code and do not support a business development strategy focused on hip joint prosthetics or similar surgical hardware. A firm pursuing opportunities under this Commodity code should verify current tagging accuracy with procurement offices before investing in pursuit activity, as the gap between code definition and actual buying signals is substantial.
