This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0PC64ZZ

UNSPSC 85692437 Extirpation of matter from left scapula, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — and the work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve surgical procedures on the scapula or any comparable orthopedic intervention. Instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability pension medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to opportunities that do not align with its intended surgical scope, making this code an unreliable signal for business development professionals in orthopedic or surgical services.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), counties (Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional health systems. Recent activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 (occupational medicine examinations for ferry workers across 14 locations); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a five-year term capped at $750,000; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services. The code's classification structure does not reflect the diversity or nature of health services actually being procured. Firms pursuing state and local health services contracts should verify code alignment directly with issuing bodies rather than relying on this taxonomy entry.
