This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer from right hip joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0SP948Z

UNSPSC 85724149 Removal of spacer from right hip joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal surgical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code consist instead of occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension-benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, temporary health professional staffing, pharmacy benefit management, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which align with orthopedic joint-spacer removal procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the issuing bodies' procurement systems or that the code is being applied as a catch-all for medical services procurement rather than as a descriptor of the specific surgical intervention the code nominally names.

The recent opportunities instead reveal activity across state departments, county health systems, municipal health benefits offices, and specialty pension boards. The Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries) posted occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach solicited surgical benefit carve-out management (RFP, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a temporary health professional staffing qualified vendor pool with proposals due October 7, 2026. Given the absence of actual joint-surgery procurement aligned to the code's name, firms pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the code assignment in each RFP rather than rely on the UNSPSC taxonomy to guide scope interpretation.
