This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left glenoid cavity, 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 0PP83JZ

UNSPSC 85691628 (Removal of synthetic substitute from left glenoid cavity, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; the recent opportunities posted under this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations span healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits management—none involve orthopedic device removal or surgical procedures in the manner the code name suggests. The mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding of health services opportunities or a classification artifact that does not reflect actual buying patterns under this code.

State and local buyers posting under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara), county human resources and retirement offices (Phoenix, Collier County), transit authorities (Washington State Ferries), juvenile justice departments (Harris County), and municipal human resources divisions (Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across fourteen ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, approximately $8.7 million annually), and Santa Clara County's non-exclusive qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Activity concentrates in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, with no evidence of sustained procurement volume under the code's stated orthopedic scope. Business development pursuit should focus on the actual work being bought—benefits administration, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing—rather than the code's nominal procedure description.
