UNSPSC 85691538: Release right glenoid cavity, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right glenoid cavity, 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 0PN70ZZ

UNSPSC 85691538 Release right glenoid cavity, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—orthopedic repair of the right shoulder socket using an open surgical technique—yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reflect occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs rather than the direct provision of orthopedic surgery or procedure-level medical services. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or assignment of a procedural taxonomy code to administrative and contracting activities peripheral to actual surgery delivery.

The six recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluation and case processing), the City of Long Beach (employee health benefits administration), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medicine), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency medical services procurement), Collier County (pharmacy administration), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing pool). Geography includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The activity is scattered across state departments, county systems, and municipal entities with no clear pattern tied to the code's stated orthopedic scope. Because the recent opportunities do not reflect genuine procurement of release right glenoid cavity procedures or related orthopedic surgery services, this code presents limited relevance for vendors providing surgical procedures, implants, or orthopedic services to state and local buyers.
