UNSPSC 85691409: Reposition left glenoid cavity, external 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 0PS8XZZ

UNSPSC 85691409 Reposition left glenoid cavity, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on the shoulder joint, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification do not involve orthopedic or surgical interventions on the glenoid cavity. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical care-out programs for Centers of Excellence, and specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which match the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error at the issuing body or that the code is being used as a catch-all for medical services that do not fit the taxonomy precisely.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span multiple jurisdiction types: a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County in Florida and Harris County in Texas), a county health system (Santa Clara County Health System in California), and cities (Phoenix and Long Beach). Geographic activity appears scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (RFP 20260825, responses due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's request for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension applicants (RTMRFP26001, responses due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's request for surgical benefit carve-out network management for city employees (RFP HR26753, responses due October 7, 2026). The code shows recent activity but no clear operational coherence; vendors should treat this code as unreliable for targeted pursuit and validate actual scope with the issuing body before investing proposal effort.
