UNSPSC 85692226: Release left scapula, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left 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 0PN63ZZ

UNSPSC 85692226 Release left scapula, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the six opportunities posted since July 2026 span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical and medical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency/specialty medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations concern the direct delivery or billing of percutaneous scapular release procedures. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to broader medical service categories by multiple issuing bodies.

The issuing-body mix spans state health and transportation departments, county health systems and administrative offices, and municipalities. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued a solicitation for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued a proposal request for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The City of Long Beach, Collier County, and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department also posted opportunities in this code category between July and August 2026. No clearly dominant repeat buyer emerges from the recent record. Geographic activity appears concentrated in California and Arizona, with Washington and Florida also represented. The code shows considerable activity but little substantive alignment with its nominal scope; business development professionals pursuing work under this code should verify issuing-body intent and actual service scope at the RFP stage rather than rely on the code title alone.
