UNSPSC 85691937: Resection of right scapula, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of right scapula, open 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 0PT50ZZ

UNSPSC 85691937 Resection of right scapula, open approach (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement opportunities tagged to it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — the open removal of a right shoulder blade — a classification typically used in healthcare billing and coding systems rather than procurement taxonomy. The recent opportunities in the source span inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve the provision, sale, or contracting of scapular resection procedures or related surgical supplies.

The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure scope and the actual work being procured suggests either a tagging error by the issuing bodies or a structural misuse of surgical-procedure codes within a procurement taxonomy designed for goods and services. The opportunities are substantive — ranging from annual inmate medical contracts at $95,537.71 monthly (Columbus Consolidated Government) to pharmacy benefit management serving 2,400 county employees with $8.7 million in historical annual spending (Collier County Board of County Commissioners) — but they reflect healthcare service delivery and administration rather than the acquisition or performance of a specific surgical intervention. No recent state or local procurement activity directly related to scapular resection procedures appears in the record.
