UNSPSC 85723557: Fusion of left hip joint with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left hip joint with synthetic substitute, 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 0SGB0JZ

UNSPSC 85723557 Fusion of left hip joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity with minimal connection to its nominal medical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code actually solicit occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which involve orthopedic joint fusion procedures. The mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied in these solicitations or the tagging reflects administrative taxonomy drift rather than substantive procurement intent aligned with the code's medical-procedure definition.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington through city pension boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation agencies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services tied to disability benefit determinations for public safety retirees; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program serving approximately 3,800 city employees and retirees enrolled in an Anthem PPO plan, covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; and the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations. Given the absence of recent hip fusion procurement under this code's actual scope, treat this category as showing little relevant recent activity and assess pursuit potential accordingly.
