UNSPSC 85693522: Revision of synthetic substitute in left humeral shaft, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in left humeral shaft, percutaneous 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 0PWG3JZ

UNSPSC 85693522 Revision of synthetic substitute in left humeral shaft, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—revision of a synthetic shoulder implant using minimally invasive technique—yet the recent opportunities posted under this code solicitate medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing. None of the six recent solicitations involve procurement of the orthopedic device or procedure the code names.

The mismatch suggests either inconsistent code assignment by issuing bodies or a data-classification issue at the state or local procurement system level. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services, the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out covering multiple procedures including orthopedic care, the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for specialty medical services, Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management, and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing represent health plan administration, medical staffing, and surveillance—not device procurement or operative services. Given the fundamental misalignment between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought under it in recent postings, the code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors supplying the specific implant or procedure the UNSPSC number describes.
