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 0PS50ZZ

UNSPSC 85691943 Reposition right scapula, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally names a surgical procedure, but state and local procurement activity tagged with this code does not reflect orthopedic surgical intervention. Instead, recent solicitations show state and local governments buying occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing through this code classification — a mismatch between the code's clinical name and actual procurement scope. The few opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, occupational medical surveillance for transit employees, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks for municipal employees, and clinical staffing pools for health systems. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and municipal employee benefits programs, reflecting fragmented demand across public pension administration, occupational safety compliance, employee health benefits, and temporary clinical workforce needs rather than any unified surgical or orthopedic focus.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001) on September 16, 2026 for disability medical record summary preparation and independent medical examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years commencing February 3, 2027. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, issued an RFP (RFP20260825) on August 25, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry terminals, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference held August 31, 2026; the two-year contract includes options to extend for up to five additional one-year terms, with cost-based scoring (40 percent price, 60 percent capability). The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive, multiple-award request (RFSQHHSFY270052) on July 7, 2026 for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026 and no guaranteed work volume. This code shows little alignment with its nominal surgical scope and should be treated as a tagging anomaly rather than a reliable indicator of orthopedic procurement demand.
