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 0PN80ZZ

UNSPSC 85691537 Release left glenoid cavity, open approach is a Commodity code that bears a surgical-procedure nomenclature yet shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with orthopedic or shoulder surgical services. The six recent opportunities posted under this code reflect a fundamental mismatch: all target occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, or medical evaluation administration — work that spans care coordination, claims processing, provider credentialing, and occupational compliance rather than specific surgical interventions. The code's abstract title does not describe what state and local buyers are actually transacting under it in the current market, suggesting either a classification error in the underlying opportunities or a code that has drifted from its original procedural intent toward broader health services procurement.

The issuing bodies span state agencies, county health systems, and municipal retirement offices across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office soliciting independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (RFP, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation seeking occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP, due October 9, 2026, cost-based scoring with 40 percent weighting to price and 60 percent to non-cost factors); the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary categories including respiratory care and sterile processing (non-exclusive, multiple-award, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County Board of County Commissioners soliciting pharmacy benefit management for approximately 2,400 enrolled employees (RFP, initial three-year term effective January 1, 2026, historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually). The code shows activity in occupational and employee benefit administration rather than surgical or orthopedic specialty procurement, indicating either systematic miscoding or a code that no longer aligns with state and local purchasing practice.
