UNSPSC 85723956: Fusion of left hip joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left hip joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0SGB3KZ

UNSPSC 85723956 Fusion of left hip joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal medical procedure scope bears no relationship to the opportunities posted against it, which instead cover occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve hip joint fusion procedures or orthopedic surgical implants of any kind. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code definition and the recent opportunities suggests either systematic coding error within state and local procurement systems or a technical artifact in how medical and health services codes are being applied to administrative and staffing procurement.

The source provides no evidence of meaningful procurement activity actually aligned with hip joint fusion implants or orthopedic surgical procedures under this code at the state and local level. The six recent opportunities named span Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (Department of Transportation), but none solicit the medical device, implant, or surgical service the code nominally describes. Absent clarification of whether this code is genuinely used in state and local procurement for its stated purpose, pursuing opportunities labeled with it would require direct inquiry to the issuing bodies to confirm actual scope alignment and distinguish between genuine device procurement and miscoded services contracts.
