This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left shoulder bursa and ligament with synthetic substitute, 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 0MU20JZ

UNSPSC 85673328 Supplement left shoulder bursa and ligament with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — specifically orthopedic repair of the left shoulder using synthetic material — but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with procurement of that procedure or related surgical supplies. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and youth detention healthcare services. None of these activities involve procurement of orthopedic implants, synthetic shoulder repair materials, or related surgical products that would fall within the code's stated scope.

The geographic and issuing-body signals present in the recent opportunities do not support a clear market for procurement under this code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and County of Santa Clara all appear in the tagged records, but their activities are administrative services, staffing, and healthcare management rather than acquisition of the surgical procedure or implants the code describes. When the code's stated scope and the actual solicitation activities diverge this sharply, the code itself offers little actionable signal for business development targeting state and local procurement of orthopedic surgical supplies or procedures. Firms pursuing shoulder repair implants and related orthopedic devices should verify whether state and local buyers are tagging their actual procurements under a different UNSPSC code.
