UNSPSC 85691922 Supplement left scapula with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The code represents a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—implantation of a synthetic scapular prosthesis via open surgical approach—but the four recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic implant procurement. Instead, the opportunities span inmate correctional healthcare (comprehensive medical and pharmacy services for a county prison), pharmacy benefit management administration for county employees and retirees, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and emergency medical services medical direction for a fire department. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic implants, surgical devices, or scapular reconstruction products or services. The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, and Monroe County in Florida), San Mateo County in California, and the City of Santa Monica, reflecting a geographically dispersed mix of county health systems and municipal departments rather than orthopedic specialty providers or surgical centers.

The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and actual procurement activity suggests either a tagging error in the state and local opportunity records or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy application and current healthcare service procurement in these jurisdictions. No recent state or local opportunities show purchasing of orthopedic implants, surgical instruments, or medical devices under this code. The geographic spread across California and Florida, combined with the absence of any orthopedic-device-related solicitations, indicates this code does not presently reflect active state and local procurement for the product or service it nominally describes.
