UNSPSC 85692211: Removal of synthetic substitute from right scapula, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from 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 0PP53JZ

UNSPSC 85692211 Removal of synthetic substitute from right scapula, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal clinical procedure scope. The recent solicitations tagged under this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical care coordination, emergency and inpatient services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which represent removal of synthetic orthopedic implants or percutaneous surgical procedures. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source material or use of the code as a catch-all for health services procurement that does not fit the code's specific clinical definition.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county-level agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipal governments (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic spread covers Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's proposal solicitation for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Given the code's specificity and the lack of procurement activity actually seeking removal of synthetic orthopedic implants or related surgical procedures, pursuit under this code warrants clarification with issuing bodies on intended scope before investment in proposal development.
