UNSPSC 85652153: Destruction of left shoulder muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0K564ZZ

UNSPSC 85652153 Destruction of left shoulder muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code show no procurement activity related to surgical procedures or medical interventions on the shoulder. Instead, the code appears to be applied to a broad range of health services contracting—occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—that bear no clinical relationship to the code's stated procedure. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system or a repurposing of the code for administrative convenience that has decoupled it from its nominal UNSPSC definition.

The issuing bodies span a diverse mix of jurisdictions: city retirement offices and pension boards (City of Phoenix), municipal health benefits procurement (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and detention authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System), and county purchasing offices administering employee benefit programs (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Recent opportunities originate in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with responses due between September 2026 and April 2027. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years) supporting disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, response due October 9, 2026) covering baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for ferry system personnel across 14 statewide locations. Given the disconnect between the code name and recent solicitation activity, pursuit decisions should treat this code as unreliable for market research and instead track specific issuing bodies and opportunity types directly rather than relying on UNSPSC classification.
