UNSPSC 85692351: Replacement of right scapula with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right scapula with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0PR54JZ

UNSPSC 85692351 Replacement of right scapula with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — and the actual work state and local governments are purchasing under this code. Recent solicitations do not reflect procurement of scapular replacement surgeries or related implants and surgical supplies. Instead, the code has been applied to a broad range of health services contracting including medical evaluation administration, surgical benefit program management, occupational health surveillance, youth detention medical care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple specialties. This mismatch suggests the code is either being misapplied by issuing bodies or has been repurposed in practice to encompass healthcare service administration and workforce contracting rather than discrete surgical procedures.

The recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span state departments, counties, and municipal health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations serving approximately 75 annual applications; the City of Long Beach requested surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program management (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for Centers of Excellence networks covering 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees; the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414); and Santa Clara County Health System built a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code does not reflect procurement activity actually tied to surgical implants, orthopedic devices, or procedure-specific medical supplies.
