This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right shoulder muscle, percutaneous 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 0KC53ZZ

UNSPSC 85651918, Extirpation of matter from right shoulder muscle, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code whose designation does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently recorded under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve shoulder surgery or percutaneous matter removal. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement database or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and the work actually being solicited. State and local procurement systems occasionally apply medical procedure codes to broader healthcare service categories, but this instance shows no discernible connection to the code's stated surgical scope.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span diverse jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Recent opportunities include an RFP from Phoenix for disability medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 over five years); an RFP from Long Beach for surgical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; an RFP from Washington State Ferries for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; an RFI from Harris County for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026; an RFP from Collier County for pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026 (historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually); and a qualification pool RFP from Santa Clara Health System for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida, though the code shows no thematic coherence and warrants verification against actual procurement intent before business development pursuit.
