UNSPSC 85692043: Excision of right scapula, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0PB50ZZ

UNSPSC 85692043 Excision of right scapula, open approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the five recent opportunities posted under this code are healthcare services contracts—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—none of which represent surgical excision of the scapula or orthopedic procedural work. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how these opportunities were tagged or a fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical definition and how state and local systems are using it. State and local governments do procure healthcare services and clinical staffing through RFPs and ITBs, but the actual work shown here spans administrative pharmacy benefit management, mental health peer support, telemedicine platforms, and medical director roles rather than surgical procedures.

The opportunities themselves reflect activity across Florida, Georgia, and California issuing bodies—including Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), Monroe County (virtual care), Muscogee County (inmate medical services), Santa Monica Fire Department (medical director), and San Mateo County (peer support)—with response dates ranging from April 2026 through July 2025. Without clarity on whether the code assignment is correct, assessing the relevance of this Commodity code to surgical or orthopedic procurement would require confirmation from the issuing authorities that their healthcare-services solicitations were properly classified.
