UNSPSC 85723840: Removal of synthetic substitute from left hip joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic 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 0SPB3JZ

UNSPSC 85723840 Removal of synthetic substitute from left hip joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little connection to orthopedic surgical procedures. The solicitations in the current pipeline instead reflect health services contracting across occupational medicine, disability evaluation, employee health benefits management, youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which align with joint replacement revision surgery or its delivery. The source documents no active state or local RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs explicitly soliciting hip joint revision services, surgeon panels, surgical facility networks, or implant supply for this procedure type.

The mismatch between the code's clinical nomenclature and the actual procurements suggests either a taxonomy assignment error or a code applied to broader healthcare service categories that do not map to the specific orthopedic intervention named. Recent activity includes Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026), Long Beach's RFP for surgical carve-out networks including hip procedures (response due October 7, 2026), Washington State Ferries' occupational medicine surveillance RFP (response due October 9, 2026), Harris County's RFI for specialty medical services for detained youth (response due September 25, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (response due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (response due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations target procedural or surgical supply provision for hip joint replacement. For business development purposes under this code, recommend confirming the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing further, as the code exhibits no concrete recent procurement activity aligned with its stated scope.
