UNSPSC 85691636: Release right glenoid cavity, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0PN73ZZ

UNSPSC 85691636 Release right glenoid cavity, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure code (glenoid cavity release via percutaneous approach), but the recent opportunities posted under this classification do not align with the code's surgical scope. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational health surveillance, pension system disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out program administration—none of which constitute the specific orthopedic surgical procedure the code describes. This mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or that the code has been repurposed in practice by some jurisdictions for broader healthcare procurement categories.

The issuing bodies pursuing healthcare-related work under this code include county governments (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries), a city retirement office (Phoenix), and a city health plan administrator (Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive temporary health professional staffing solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Activity is concentrated in Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas, though the small sample size and apparent coding misalignment limit reliability for geographic or sector trending under this specific code.
