UNSPSC 85691400: Concave bone shoulder, external approach

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the concave bone of the shoulder with external approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0P.

UNSPSC 85691400 Concave bone shoulder, external approach is a Class code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—orthopedic surgical procedures involving concave bone shoulders performed via external approach—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it in the source material.

The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), disability medical record summarization and independent medical evaluations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employees (City of Long Beach), specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve orthopedic shoulder procedures or surgical interventions. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the administrative, occupational health, and benefits-management work actually being solicited suggests either persistent miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this particular UNSPSC classification is not actively used to tag orthopedic surgery procurement in the jurisdictions currently visible in the market. Firms evaluating this code should verify directly with state and local purchasing offices whether orthopedic shoulder procedures are actually solicited under this classification before investing in pursuit activity.
