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 0PQ63ZZ

UNSPSC 85692201 Repair left scapula, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical repair of the left scapula using percutaneous (needle-based) techniques. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no relevant medical or surgical procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities include comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management services for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and medical director services for a fire department—none of which involve orthopedic surgery, scapular repair, or percutaneous surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's explicit scope and the actual opportunities suggests either a systematic tagging error in the source data or that this code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for healthcare services broadly rather than for the specific surgical service it names.

State and local procurement activity under this code does not represent genuine market opportunity for orthopedic surgical services or scapular repair capabilities. Bidding professionals should treat opportunities tagged to 85692201 with skepticism and verify the actual scope of work directly from the issuing authority's full solicitation documents rather than relying on the code classification.
