UNSPSC 85693418: Excision of right humeral head, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0PBC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85693418 Excision of right humeral head, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitation record shows no instances of state or local governments purchasing surgical procedures or orthopedic surgery services under this code. Instead, the tagged opportunities reflect administrative and occupational health services—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing coordination, and specialty procedure carve-out management for employee health plans—none of which constitute the performance of a specific surgical procedure on a patient.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a defined surgical intervention) and the work actually being solicited suggests either a categorical coding error in the procurement system or that the code is rarely used for state and local contracting. The source records no recent activity under this Commodity code that matches its stated definition. Vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC classification if pursuing opportunities in occupational medicine, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, or clinical staffing services, as those categories are active in the recent state and local marketplace but are not appropriately represented under this code.
