UNSPSC 85691523: Replacement of left glenoid cavity with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left glenoid cavity with autologous tissue 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 0PR807Z

UNSPSC 85691523 Replacement of left glenoid cavity with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal surgical-procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical name describes a specific orthopedic surgical intervention, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and juvenile detention healthcare services — none of which involve glenoid cavity replacement or autologous tissue transplantation. This mismatch suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or that the code has been repurposed in state and local systems to cover broad healthcare delivery and administration services rather than a discrete surgical procedure.

The issuing bodies include city retirement systems (Phoenix), city employee benefits programs (Long Beach), state transportation authorities (Washington State Ferries via WSDOT), county health systems (Santa Clara), county commissioners' offices (Collier County), county probation departments (Harris County), and county procurement divisions managing employee benefits consortiums. Recent opportunities cluster in California, Washington, Arizona, and Florida, with activity driven primarily by employee health plan administration and occupational health compliance rather than surgical services. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (response due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out benefits management (due October 7, 2026), WSDOT's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County's multiple-award qualification pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code exhibits no meaningful concentration and appears poorly indexed to its stated commodity name; procurement professionals should treat this code as flagged for reclassification rather than as a reliable signal of orthopedic implant or surgical-intervention opportunities.
