UNSPSC 85723458: Removal of internal fixation device from right hip joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device 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 0SP904Z

UNSPSC 85723458 Removal of internal fixation device from right hip joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect direct procurement of that service. Instead, the opportunities cluster around occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation administration, surgical benefit management, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involves removal of orthopedic hardware. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the point of posting or use of a catch-all procedure code by agencies unfamiliar with UNSPSC surgical taxonomy.

The recent opportunities originate from a mix of issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The Washington State Ferries issued RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach issued HR26753 for a surgical benefit carve-out program with proposals due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System issued RFSQHHS FY270052 for temporary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026. These opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, this code merits immediate verification against the agencies' procurement intent rather than investment in pursuit strategy.
