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 0KT50ZZ

UNSPSC 85651748 Resection of right shoulder muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities in the source—spanning independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management, occupational health surveillance, youth detention medical care, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing—do not solicit resection of shoulder muscle or any surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the source or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for health services contracting broadly. Based on the opportunities present, state and local buyers are actually procuring medical management, administrative health services, staffing, and benefit coordination, not orthopedic surgery itself.

Recent activity spans issuing bodies across multiple jurisdictions and service categories: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach (California) requested a surgical carve-out benefit program for its PPO plan; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) sought pharmacy benefit management administration; and Santa Clara County Health System (California) established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. No single issuing body dominates the recent posting pattern. Without clear alignment between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, pursuit decisions should focus on whether your firm operates within health services administration, benefit management, staffing, or surveillance—not on the surgical procedure the code name describes.
