UNSPSC 85691635: Release left glenoid cavity, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0PN83ZZ

UNSPSC 85691635 Release left glenoid cavity, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under it. Recent solicitations tagged to this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these opportunities involve glenoid cavity release procedures or orthopedic surgery delivery. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state or local procurement systems or that the code has been repurposed or misapplied in recent posting cycles.

The opportunities that do appear under this code span diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—and are concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent activity includes the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's stated definition and the work actually being solicited, business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuit.
