UNSPSC 85724223: Insertion of spacer into left hip joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into left 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 0SHB48Z

UNSPSC 85724223 "Insertion of spacer into left hip joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs through Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations reflect administrative health services, staffing, and benefits management rather than the implantation or placement of orthopedic devices.

State and local activity under this code involves counties, municipalities, and special-purpose health systems. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, and the County of Santa Clara Health System have posted recent opportunities. Geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with a proposal deadline of October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix's RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications, due October 16, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's HR26753 for a surgical benefit carve-out program with Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026. The code's classification appears misaligned with the work actually being solicited, suggesting either a taxonomy assignment error or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for health services procurement outside its nominal scope.
