UNSPSC 85723845: Removal of infusion device from left hip joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device 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 0SPB33Z

UNSPSC 85723845 Removal of infusion device 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 — removal of an infusion device from the left hip joint via percutaneous approach — which is a clinical intervention that state and local governments do not directly procure as a standalone service line. Recent opportunities tagged under this code instead reflect broader health system administration and medical staffing — independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve procurement of the specific orthopedic procedure named in the code.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding by state and local procurement offices or a data-quality issue in how this code has been applied to opportunities. Issuers include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Santa Clara, Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), and a county benefits administrator (Collier County), but their activity centers on health services administration, staffing, benefit management, and surveillance — not orthopedic device removal. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Without representative opportunities that actually solicit the removal of infusion devices from hip joints, this code shows little reliable signal for business development purposes under its stated scope.
