UNSPSC 85723565: Fusion of right hip joint with external fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right hip joint with external fixation device, 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 0SG905Z

UNSPSC 85723565 Fusion of right hip joint with external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the six recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code are instead soliciting independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with procurement of hip fusion devices or implantable hardware.

The mismatch between code and actual scope suggests either a cataloging error in the source records or a systematic misapplication of this Commodity code to healthcare services contracts. The issuing bodies — Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System — are all soliciting administrative or staffing services rather than medical devices or orthopedic supplies. State and local procurement professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for healthcare services opportunities before pursuing work under this code.
