This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into right hip joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85724227 Insertion of spacer into right hip joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal clinical procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's name references a specific orthopedic surgical technique, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve orthopedic joint procedures or implant insertion. The issuing bodies across these opportunities include city retirement offices, state departments of transportation, county health systems, county boards of commissioners, and juvenile probation departments, reflecting a diverse mix of public employers and healthcare authorities managing employee health plans, occupational safety programs, and inmate medical services rather than procurement of surgical devices or orthopedic procedures themselves.

Recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out networks, due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for specialty and emergency medical services, due September 25, 2026), and Florida (Collier County RFP for pharmacy benefit management services, with proposals already due April 9, 2026). The code appears to carry a data-classification error or legacy tag that does not reflect the actual procurement work being bought under it. Business development professionals should treat this code as showing little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope and should investigate the underlying data quality before committing pursuit resources.
