UNSPSC 85692002: Repair right scapula, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 0PQ50ZZ

UNSPSC 85692002 Repair right scapula, open approach is a Commodity code whose title does not align with recent state and local solicitation activity. The three recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical repair of the scapula. The code shows a significant classification mismatch between its nominal scope and what state and local issuing bodies are actually buying under it.

The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, and the County of Santa Clara Health System represent the issuing bodies in the recent record, spanning state departments, city governments, and county health systems across Washington, Arizona, California, and northern California respectively. A Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) solicits occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) requests independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026. The code's recent activity reflects misclassification rather than legitimate demand for orthopedic surgical repair services, suggesting the code warrants review for reclassification or that opportunities are being tagged incorrectly at source.
