UNSPSC 85693221: Replacement of left humeral head with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left humeral head with autologous tissue substitute, open 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 0PRD07Z

UNSPSC 85693221 Replacement of left humeral head with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical-procedure taxonomy and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures or medical devices; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability-benefits medical evaluation services, surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth detention. The code appears to have been applied by issuing bodies as a broad catchall for healthcare services procurement rather than for the specific left humeral head replacement procedure the code nominally describes. State and local governments are not currently soliciting this specific procedure or tissue-substitute device under the code's eight-digit taxonomy.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), and state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Phoenix's Retirement Office is seeking disability medical evaluation services ($750,000 over five years, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); Long Beach is seeking a surgical-procedure carve-out benefit program for Centers of Excellence networks (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Washington State Ferries is soliciting occupational medical surveillance for shipyard workers and deck crew across 14 Washington locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System is building a five-year qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 county employees and 4,800 dependents with an estimated annual spend of $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414). These opportunities are geographically distributed across California, Arizona, Florida, Washington, and Texas. The code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity diverge so substantially that vendors should treat this code as a low-signal category for business development and verify the specific work scope in each solicitation independently rather than relying on the UNSPSC taxonomy alignment.
