UNSPSC 85693742: Removal of synthetic substitute from left humeral head, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left humeral head, 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 0PPD3JZ

UNSPSC 85693742 Removal of synthetic substitute from left humeral head, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with the procedural definition. Instead, the opportunities solicited involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit program management through Centers of Excellence networks, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services correspond to the removal of a humeral head implant. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the state and local procurement system or that this code is being used as a catch-all for medical services unrelated to its stated scope.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county commissioners (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity and does not appear to be functioning as a reliable taxonomy marker for state and local medical procurement.
