UNSPSC 85692438: Extirpation of matter from right scapula, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right 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 0PC54ZZ

UNSPSC 85692438 Extirpation of matter from right scapula, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure on the scapula—does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities posted under it. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code are instead requesting independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities involve scapular orthopedic surgery or percutaneous endoscopic approaches to bone matter removal. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or a data-integrity issue in the taxonomy application.

The five recent opportunities span four states—Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County)—and involve city procurement offices, county health and benefits departments, state transportation agencies, and county justice system bodies. Representative recent work includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026), and County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical specialties (due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of scapular surgery solicitations and the diversity of unrelated healthcare procurement activity, this code does not represent a coherent procurement category for business development targeting under its stated clinical scope.
