UNSPSC 85723611: Excision of left hip joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0SBB0ZZ

UNSPSC 85723611 Excision of left hip joint, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows little alignment with the code's clinical scope. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or hip joint excision. The issuing bodies include county health departments, corrections facilities, county boards of commissioners, county behavioral health services, and municipal fire departments across Florida, Georgia, and California. This code appears to be a misclassification artifact in the state and local procurement taxonomy; the opportunities it captures are healthcare administration, benefits management, and medical staffing rather than surgical commodities or procedures.

The geographic spread includes Georgia (Muscogee County Prison medical services), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management and Monroe County virtual care), California (San Mateo County behavioral health peer support and Santa Monica Fire Department medical direction), with no standout repeat buyers under this code. Representative recent solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members with historical annual spend of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code does not support meaningful pursuit activity — the classification mismatch signals that business development teams should verify correct UNSPSC coding with issuing bodies before responding to opportunities flagged under this code.
