This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from 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 0PP50JZ

UNSPSC 85692011 Removal of synthetic substitute from right scapula, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its medical procedure nomenclature. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under this code during the past 90 days. The recent solicitations tagged to this code are primarily for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for juveniles in custody. These opportunities span administrative healthcare contracting, occupational health programs, and clinical staffing arrangements rather than discrete surgical interventions on scapular implants.

Activity appears concentrated among mid-size county governments and municipal retirement systems, with no repeat buyers evident across the limited recent postings. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System represent the issuing bodies. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 maximum over five years, due October 16, 2026), Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor-pool RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between this code's clinical specificity and the administrative, occupational-health, and staffing-focused opportunities suggests either miscoding or minimal state and local procurement activity aligned to the code's stated scope.
