UNSPSC 85723605: Extirpation of matter from left hip joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0SCB0ZZ

UNSPSC 85723605 Extirpation of matter from left hip joint, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on a specific anatomical site, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic extirpation procedures or surgical interventions on the hip joint. The mismatch suggests the code is being applied by state and local procurement offices to capture broader healthcare services and administrative contracting rather than clinical procedures.

Issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), cities managing employee health benefits (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State DOT), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county human resources consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). The geographic footprint spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool in temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code exhibits fragmented activity across diverse health service and benefits categories rather than surgical procedure procurement.
