This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left glenoid cavity with synthetic substitute, 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 0PR83JZ

UNSPSC 85691620 Replacement of left glenoid cavity with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under it consist entirely of administrative healthcare contracting — medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the implantation of synthetic joint replacements or procedural medical devices. The issuing bodies span city retirement systems, county human resources and health departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, and county health systems; the geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a cataloging error or use of the code as a catch-all for healthcare-related state and local contracts that do not fit narrower codes.

The most substantive recent opportunities—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026)—are representative of the code's current activity. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic implants, joint replacement procedures, or device procurement of any kind. A firm pursuing this code should treat it as unreliable and verify the intended procurement category directly with the issuing body before responding.
