UNSPSC 85723839: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left hip joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left hip joint, percutaneous 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 0SPB3KZ

UNSPSC 85723839 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left hip joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure code, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit program management, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve orthopedic tissue removal or hip joint procedures. This mismatch indicates either a tagging error in the underlying procurement database or that the code is being used as a placeholder for broader health services categories by issuing agencies unfamiliar with UNSPSC taxonomy precision. No genuinely relevant recent activity appears under this code.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, County of Santa Clara Health System), counties (Collier County, Harris County), and cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Without recent solicitations that actually match the code's defined scope, business development professionals should flag this code as inactive for orthopedic tissue removal contracting and verify the correct commodity codes for any surgical or medical device procurement they intend to pursue.
