UNSPSC 85692106: Revision of synthetic substitute in right scapula, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in right scapula, percutaneous 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 0PW53JZ

UNSPSC 85692106 Revision of synthetic substitute in right scapula, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code describes an orthopedic surgical procedure — revision of a prosthetic scapular implant using a percutaneous (minimally invasive) approach — yet the six most recently posted state and local opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, independent disability medical evaluations for pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic implant procedures, surgical revisions, or related medical device procurement. The mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the actual work being bought suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement systems posting these opportunities or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these jurisdictions are tagging health services contracts.

The opportunities do show activity across several kinds of issuing bodies — municipal retirement offices, city employee benefits functions, state transportation departments, county public health and juvenile justice functions, and county health systems — but none of them are sourcing surgical implants or orthopedic device services. Without recent opportunities that actually match the orthopedic surgical device scope of code 85692106, this code presents no actionable procurement signal for business development professionals pursuing orthopedic implant or revision-surgery services at the state and local level. Watch for clarification or recoding of these opportunities before treating this code as an active market.
