UNSPSC 85723525: Insertion of internal fixation device into left hip joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into left 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 0SHB04Z

UNSPSC 85723525 Insertion of internal fixation device into left hip joint, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with orthopedic surgical implant procurement. The four most recent opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for a county health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services for a county workforce, peer support services for behavioral health peer workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve hip joint implants or orthopedic surgical devices. State and local governments do procure medical devices and supplies through their purchasing systems, but this code's recent activity does not reflect orthopedic implant procurement or related device contracting; the tagging appears to be a data classification error rather than a signal of active demand under the code's nominal scope.

The issuing bodies across the recent sample include a county correctional authority (Muscogee County, Georgia), a county board of commissioners procurement division acting on behalf of human resources (Collier County, Florida), a county board of commissioners health plan administration (Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health services department (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). Geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California. Without recent opportunities actually soliciting orthopedic surgical implants or related fixation devices under this code, pursue this category only if your firm has direct relationships with county procurement offices or health systems explicitly seeking hip joint implant supplies; otherwise, the code warrants a skip pending reclassification or improved tagging in source systems.
