This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left glenoid cavity, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0PP84JZ

UNSPSC 85691728, Removal of synthetic substitute from left glenoid cavity, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity), shows a substantial mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure code—and the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The code does not align with the work actually being solicited. Recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits administration through Centers of Excellence networks, pharmacy benefit management services, hospital-based emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations involve removal of synthetic shoulder joint substitutes or orthopedic implant revision procedures. The issuing bodies span multiple state and local jurisdictions—the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—indicating that this code's recent use spans state transportation agencies, municipal retirement systems, county health departments, and regional health systems. The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida.

Representative opportunities illustrate the scope divergence. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 Washington ferry terminals, with board-certified occupational medicine physicians required. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to summarize medical records and coordinate disability examinations for approximately 75 public safety pension applicants annually, with a five-year contract value of $750,000. The City of Long Beach solicited surgical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) offering voluntary pre- and post-care for knee, hip, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence. Because the code's nominal scope bears no meaningful relationship to current procurement activity, the code presents little relevant decision signal for vendors offering orthopedic implant services or revision procedures.
