UNSPSC 85691631: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right glenoid cavity, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right 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 0PP73KZ

UNSPSC 85691631 (Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right glenoid cavity, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—extraction of synthetic shoulder implant material via percutaneous technique—yet the six most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence, and emergency/specialty medical services for youth in detention. None of these solicitations involve glenoid cavity procedures or orthopedic implant removal. The disconnect suggests either a systematic classification error in the state and local procurement database or the code is being applied as a catch-all for miscellaneous healthcare services without meaningful specificity.

Geographic coverage spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. Recent issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal health systems, county human resources and procurement divisions, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice authorities. No repeat buyer appears in the recent opportunity set. Given the absence of actual glenoid cavity or orthopedic implant removal work in recent solicitations, this code presents no actionable procurement signal for vendors specializing in that procedure. Firms should verify with individual issuing bodies whether opportunities are correctly coded before pursuing work under this Commodity designation.
