This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left shoulder muscle with synthetic substitute, 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 0KU64JZ

UNSPSC 85652038 Supplement left shoulder muscle with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not involve musculoskeletal implants or orthopedic surgical procedures. The code appears to be a clinical procedure taxonomy entry that state and local procurement systems have incorrectly applied to administrative health services, provider contracting, and benefits management solicitations. None of the opportunities describe procurement of shoulder implants, surgical instrumentation, or implant-related supplies.

The mismatch between the code's orthopedic-implant scope and the actual opportunities posted suggests that this code does not represent active state and local procurement activity for its intended product line. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify that opportunities tagged under it match the clinical implant scope before pursuing; the recent record does not support a business case for pursuing work under UNSPSC 85652038 as presently defined.
