UNSPSC 85651854: Destruction of right shoulder muscle, open 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 0K550ZZ

UNSPSC 85651854 Destruction of right shoulder muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not match the work actually being solicited by state and local agencies under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, temporary clinical staffing, and specialty surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans—none of which involve surgical destruction of shoulder muscle tissue. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or that the code is being applied to medical administration and benefits procurement rather than surgical procedures themselves.

State and local issuing bodies appearing in the recent record include Arizona cities (Phoenix Retirement Office), California municipalities (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida counties (Collier County), and Texas county departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation). No repeat buyers or geographic concentration emerges from the small sample. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity; the recent opportunities under this classification reflect administrative healthcare contracting (benefits management, medical record review, occupational health services) rather than surgical procedures. Business development professionals should verify code assignment before pursuing; the code's stated scope and the actual solicitations do not align.
