UNSPSC 85692426: Release left scapula, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left scapula, 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 0PN64ZZ

UNSPSC 85692426 Release left scapula, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, emergency and inpatient care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-entry error in the procurement systems used to tag these opportunities.

The six opportunities span issuing bodies including a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county commissioners and health systems (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), municipalities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a regional transit agency (Washington State Ferries). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 for ferry system employees across 14 locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026 for disability benefit determinations; and the City of Long Beach's surgery carve-out benefit RFP due October 7, 2026 for Centers of Excellence networks. Because the code shows minimal relevance to the recent opportunities actually posted under it, business development professionals should treat this code as offering no reliable signal of current procurement demand in orthopedic or other surgical services.
