UNSPSC 85692027: Release 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 0PN50ZZ

UNSPSC 85692027 Release right scapula, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not align with the work actually being solicited under this classification. The code nominally describes a surgical orthopedic procedure, but the recent opportunities posted with this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and inpatient hospital services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgery or scapular procedures. This appears to reflect a coding mismatch in the state and local procurement systems rather than genuine demand for the clinical service the code describes.

The source contains no recent opportunities that actually solicit orthopedic surgical services, scapular repair, or related operating-room procedure services from state and local governments. The six most recent postings (Phoenix Retirement Office disability medical evaluations, Long Beach surgical Centers of Excellence carve-out benefit, Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance, Harris County Juvenile Probation emergency hospital services, Collier County pharmacy benefit management, and Santa Clara Health System temporary clinical staffing) are administrative healthcare contracting, occupational health, benefits management, and staffing procurement — categories orthogonal to surgical procedure codes. Firms pursuing state and local government work should not rely on this code as a signal of actual procurement opportunity for orthopedic or surgical services.
