UNSPSC 85692007: Removal of synthetic substitute from left scapula, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left 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 0PP60JZ

UNSPSC 85692007 Removal of synthetic substitute from left scapula, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's medical-procedure taxonomy—naming a specific orthopedic surgical intervention—does not align with the scope of the recent opportunities tagged to it. The opportunities solicited include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve the removal of prosthetic devices from the scapula or orthopedic implant replacement in an open surgical setting. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied to these records in error or serves as a catch-all placeholder for medical service procurements that do not fit narrower taxonomy.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span diverse state and local sectors: city retirement boards (Phoenix), city employee benefits offices (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources and benefits consortiums (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity is distributed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Absent a coherent pool of orthopedic surgical procurement activity, the code does not present a viable business development target for firms pursuing state and local contracts in this commodity segment.
