UNSPSC 85723849, Removal of spacer from right hip joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local contract activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington involve independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out networks for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the procurement activity suggests either systematic tagging error or that state and local buyers do not solicit this specific procedure through competitive procurement channels visible in public notice databases.

No contracting activity matching removal of hip joint spacers, percutaneous approach, appears in recent state and local opportunities. Buyers appear to address orthopedic procedure management through broader medical benefit carve-outs (such as the City of Long Beach's knee, hip, and orthopedic surgery Center of Excellence program) or through employee health plan administration rather than itemized surgical codes. If pursuing this code, verify with specific target jurisdictions whether they solicit orthopedic surgical procedures independently or bundle them within benefit management RFPs, and confirm the code assignment is accurate before investing business development effort.
