UNSPSC 85693681: Replacement of left humeral head with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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, 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 0PRD37Z

UNSPSC 85693681 Replacement of left humeral head with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure involving shoulder replacement with autologous tissue, yet the opportunities on file are unrelated to this procedure or similar surgical interventions. Instead, the tagged solicitations address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs for multiple procedure types (knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, oncology), and emergency medical services for youth in custody. Of these, only the Long Beach Centers of Excellence RFP mentions shoulder procedures among a broader portfolio of surgical specialties, but it is structured as a managed-care network carve-out rather than procurement of the specific humeral head replacement procedure itself. The code shows no meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement aligned with its stated scope.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and recent activity tagged under it suggests either systematic miscoding in the opportunity database or that state and local procurement offices have not recently solicited for this specific orthopedic procedure. No representative recent opportunities under this code support a business development strategy for shoulder replacement services or related implants in the state and local market.
