This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left humeral head, 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 0PPD0JZ

UNSPSC 85693272 Removal of synthetic substitute from left humeral head, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The UNSPSC code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect administrative health services, occupational medicine, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve the surgical procedure the code nominates. State and local buyers are not soliciting orthopedic implant removal services under this code; instead, they are requesting medical evaluation services, occupational surveillance, pharmacy administration, and health professional temporary staffing. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems or that this code is not actively used by these jurisdictions for its intended purpose.

The recent opportunities span geographically diverse issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California) — but none of the work they are soliciting corresponds to the orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code. Without active, aligned procurement opportunities under UNSPSC 85693272, this code presents minimal relevance for business development professionals pursuing state and local contracts.
