UNSPSC 85691526: Replacement of right 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 right 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 0PR707Z

UNSPSC 85691526, Replacement of right glenoid cavity with autologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—orthopedic surgical procedure coding—bears little relationship to the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None involve glenoid cavity replacement or orthopedic surgery procurement. The code appears to have been applied as a misclassification catch-all rather than reflecting genuine procurement activity in shoulder joint reconstruction.

State and local issuing bodies using this code include a city retirement office (Phoenix), two municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), and a county benefits administration office (Collier County, Florida). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no obvious concentration. Because the code does not align with actual procurement activity—the opportunities are administrative and clinical service delivery contracts unrelated to orthopedic procedure coding—this code shows little decision-relevant activity for firms pursuing surgical implant, instrumentation, or procedure-specific business. Vendors in occupational health, benefits administration, or temporary staffing may find representation here, but the code assignment appears incidental rather than systematic.
