UNSPSC 85723442 Removal of synthetic substitute from left hip joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review and evaluation coordination, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve hip joint prosthesis removal or any orthopedic implant extraction. The issuing bodies are county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), indicating broad public sector health administration and benefits procurement rather than clinical orthopedic services. The mismatch between code name and actual solicitation scope suggests either systematic miscoding at the local level or that this Commodity code has been repurposed as a catch-all for medical services taxonomy entries.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office, independent medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026; Santa Clara County temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026), Washington State (WSDOT occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, proposals due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management, proposal deadline April 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation RFI for emergency and specialty hospital services, responses due September 25, 2026). Recent opportunity values range from approximately $750,000 over five years (Phoenix disability evaluations) to $8.7 million annually (Collier County pharmacy services), with no guaranteed volume in Santa Clara's temporary staffing pool. The code shows no cohesive procurement signal and warrants reclassification or clarification at the source level before business development pursuit.
