This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right glenoid cavity 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 0PR70JZ

UNSPSC 85691525 Replacement of right glenoid cavity with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve procurement of implants, surgical supplies, or procedure-related materials. Instead, the opportunities center on health professional staffing, medical benefits management, occupational surveillance, pension disability evaluations, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — functions that fall outside orthopedic implant procurement and do not align with the code's surgical-procedure scope.

The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code is rarely used in state and local procurement for its intended purpose. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for surgical implant, prosthetic device, or orthopedic procedure-kit opportunities through direct inquiry with issuing offices rather than relying on this code for market signals. The recent opportunities—including independent medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefits carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System)—derive from multiple state and local jurisdictions across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but none represent procurement activity under this code's stated commodity scope.
