UNSPSC 85691616: Reposition left glenoid cavity with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left glenoid cavity with internal fixation device, percutaneous 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 0PS834Z

UNSPSC 85691616 "Reposition left glenoid cavity with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical implant procurement or surgical services at all. Instead, the opportunities track medical services administration, occupational health surveillance, health benefits carve-out management, pharmacy benefit administration, and clinical staffing coordination — none of which align with the code's stated scope of glenoid cavity fixation. The source reveals a fundamental mismatch between the code taxonomy and actual procurement activity: issuing bodies from Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County) have tagged their medical-services RFPs and RFIs with this orthopedic-procedure code, suggesting either systematic misclassification or upstream data errors in how opportunities are indexed to UNSPSC numbers.

This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal commodity scope. Business development professionals evaluating pursuit should treat this signal as a warning: the code's directory definition does not match what state and local agencies are actually buying under it, making it unreliable as a procurement intelligence source for orthopedic implant or surgical-procedure services at this time.
