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 shows no alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure code within orthopedic or trauma medicine, yet the five most recently posted state and local opportunities tagged to this code span inmate prison medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County, Georgia), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County, Florida), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County, Florida), peer support services for behavioral health workers (San Mateo County, California), and fire department emergency medical services medical director services (Santa Monica, California). None of these solicitations request surgical services, orthopedic procedures, or clinical interventions matching the code's stated scope.

The mismatch suggests that the code assignment does not reflect the actual work being bought. State and local procurement offices occasionally misclassify opportunities when tagging them to UNSPSC taxonomy, particularly when administrative procurement systems auto-assign codes or when health services are broadly grouped without regard to clinical specificity. No representative opportunities exist that are actually soliciting surgical procedure services under this code, and the code does not show meaningful recent activity in state and local contracting aligned with its clinical scope.
