This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer from right hip joint, 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 0SP908Z

UNSPSC 85723455 Removal of spacer from right hip joint, open approach is a Commodity code describing a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear no meaningful relationship to this clinical intervention. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities posted under this classification span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, and surgical carve-out benefit programs — none of which involve orthopedic joint implant removal. This mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging misalignment in the source data or that the code is being applied to medical services procurement in a way that divorces it from its nominal procedure-level taxonomy. The opportunities that do appear are diverse in scope and issuing body type, spanning county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, and juvenile justice agencies.

The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 cover medical administration and health services contracting across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), while the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for its Anthem PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026). The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026). Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026), Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, deadline April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). This code lacks coherent procurement signals and does not appear to be a reliable predictor of state and local buying activity in any focused commodity area.
