UNSPSC 85652111: Release left shoulder muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left shoulder muscle, 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 0KN64ZZ

UNSPSC 85652111 Release left shoulder muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code representing a specific orthopedic surgical procedure. State and local government procurement under this code does not align with actual recent solicitation activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code tag—comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services—represent healthcare administration, behavioral health support, and medical direction rather than orthopedic surgical procedures. The code appears to be a mis-tagging by the issuing jurisdictions, with no recent state or local solicitations actually seeking orthopedic shoulder release procedures.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual healthcare procurement activity posted suggests that either the UNSPSC taxonomy was applied incorrectly by the posting jurisdictions or that state and local procurement offices are using higher-level healthcare codes to tag diverse medical service contracts. Vendors evaluating this code should verify the actual scope of work directly from RFP documents rather than relying on the code designation alone, and should monitor whether future activity under this code continues to reflect administrative and clinical support services rather than the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes.
