UNSPSC 85691600: Concave bone shoulder, percutaneous approach

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the concave bone of the shoulder with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0P.

UNSPSC 85691600 Concave bone shoulder, percutaneous approach is a Class code with no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The code appears to describe a medical procedure or device category; however, the recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for PPO plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not involve orthopedic shoulder procedures or implants. The mismatch between the code's medical device classification and the service-oriented nature of recent solicitations suggests either a data-tagging error in the opportunities or that this code does not reflect actual purchasing patterns in state and local procurement at present.

The six recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, issued by city retirement offices, municipal employee benefit programs, state departments of transportation, county juvenile detention authorities, county human resources divisions, and county health systems—a broad cross-section of issuing bodies with no dominant repeat buyer. Given the absence of opportunities aligned to the code's stated scope, pursuing this code for orthopedic device or procedure services would require direct outreach to health systems and surgical centers rather than reliance on posted solicitations to guide business development strategy.
