UNSPSC 85723957: Fusion of left hip joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left hip joint with synthetic 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 0SGB3JZ

UNSPSC 85723957 Fusion of left hip joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which constitute the orthopedic joint fusion procedure the code nominally names. The mismatch suggests either a systematic data-tagging error within state and local procurement systems or an artifact of hierarchical UNSPSC classification where higher-tier procedural codes are being applied to tangentially related medical services.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code in the recent window include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (serving the Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Police Pension Board), the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with work types ranging from medical record review and disability evaluation scheduling (Phoenix, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to surgical procedure carve-out network management for municipal employees (Long Beach, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) and occupational health screening across multiple ferry terminals (WSDOT, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope bears no meaningful relationship to the actual solicitations being filed against it, practitioners should treat activity under this code as a classification artifact rather than a reliable signal of state and local buying patterns in orthopedic joint fusion procedures.
