This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right 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 0PPC0JZ

UNSPSC 85693277 Removal of synthetic substitute from right humeral head, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing orthopedic surgical procedure codes. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the code's narrow clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect procurement for occupational and disability medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical center-of-excellence benefit programs — none of which involve removal of synthetic shoulder implants or orthopedic implant revision surgery.

The mismatch between the code's nominal medical procedure focus and the actual work being solicited suggests this code receives minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. No recent solicitations reflect procurement for orthopedic surgical services, implant removal procedures, or related surgical supplies or staffing directly tied to the code's stated scope. The tagged opportunities — including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services (RFP due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services (RFP due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (RFP due October 7, 2026) — address administrative medical services, occupational health compliance, and temporary clinical staffing but do not procure the specific surgical procedure or implant service the code describes.
