UNSPSC 85691500: Concave bone shoulder, open 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 open 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 85691500 Concave bone shoulder, open approach is a Class code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not align with orthopedic surgical procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these activities involve concave bone shoulder procedures or related surgical interventions, suggesting either a systematic tagging misalignment or inconsistent application of the code across posting systems.

State and local buyers posting under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (serving the Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Recent opportunities cluster in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) represent the most active recent postings, though neither involves the orthopedic surgical work the code nominally describes. Given the persistent mismatch between the code name and actual procurement activity, verify the correct UNSPSC classification before investing business development resources in this category.
