UNSPSC 85692227: Release right scapula, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0PN53ZZ

UNSPSC 85692227 Release right scapula, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the six most recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026 target independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out administration, occupational health surveillance, youth detention medical care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve performance of the specific scapular release procedure the code names. The mismatch suggests this code is either misapplied to these opportunities by issuing-body procurement staff, rarely used in state and local contracting, or both.

The recent opportunities instead reflect demand for medical administration, care coordination, and ancillary clinical staffing across multiple jurisdictions. Issuing bodies include a city retirement board (Phoenix), two municipal governments (Long Beach and Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county health consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, valued at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. If your firm performs the scapular release procedure itself, this code does not currently reflect state and local buying patterns worth pursuing. If your firm administers, coordinates, or staffs medical services, verify the correct UNSPSC classification with issuing bodies before pursuing these opportunities.
