This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right humeral head, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85693747 Removal of synthetic substitute from right humeral head, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with a mismatch between its nominal clinical procedure scope and state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical procedures but instead cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefits carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, specialty healthcare for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these align with the code's stated description of a specific shoulder arthroplasty removal procedure. The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, cities, and special-purpose health authorities—Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), the City of Long Beach (California), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California).

The code shows recent activity across Arizona, Washington, Texas, California, and Florida, concentrated in procurement for medical services administration and workforce support rather than implant removal or surgical procedures. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vendor-pool qualification for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical and support categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code does not represent a discrete procurement opportunity for the implant removal procedure it nominally describes.
