UNSPSC 85692462: Destruction of left scapula, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0P564ZZ

UNSPSC 85692462 Destruction of left scapula, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal classification and recent state and local procurement activity. The code title refers to a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures at all; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, and temporary health professional staffing services. The scope of work actually being solicited under this code ranges from independent medical record review and disability determinations for public safety retirement systems to occupational health examinations for transportation workers, surgical network management for municipal employee benefits, and clinical staffing placement services—none of which align with the destruction-of-left-scapula procedure named in the code. This misclassification signals either an error in how these opportunities were tagged or a systemic issue with code assignment in this procurement category.

Issuing bodies across these opportunities include a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and public health systems. Recent solicitations span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (due October 16, 2026; total compensation $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry service locations (due October 9, 2026; cost-based scoring with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026; non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle), and the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management for employee health plans (due October 7, 2026; contract execution targeted April 1, 2027). Bidders pursuing opportunities under this code should treat the mismatch as a red flag and verify actual service scope with the issuing body before investing in proposal development.
