UNSPSC 85693766: Release right 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 0PNC3ZZ

UNSPSC 85693766 Release right humeral head, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code. The code shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The source material records six recent solicitations tagged under this code, but only one—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services—involves any form of orthopedic or musculoskeletal procedure assessment. The remaining five opportunities (Long Beach's surgical carve-out benefit program, Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance, Harris County's youth detention medical services, Collier County's pharmacy benefit management, and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing) are administrative healthcare contracting, health plan design, and clinical staffing procurement, none of which involve the specific percutaneous release procedure the code nominally describes. The Phoenix solicitation itself focuses on disability medical record review and scheduling of independent medical examinations for pension benefit determinations—peripheral to the clinical procedure itself.

State and local governments posting opportunities under this code are capturing administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing procurement rather than the orthopedic surgical procedures the UNSPSC commodity nominally identifies. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county health systems, municipal retirement boards, and county commissioners' offices across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. The code does not appear to see meaningful activity in actual orthopedic surgical procedure delivery or procurement. Firms targeting this code should verify directly whether state and local procurement offices use this UNSPSC designation for the clinical work being pursued, as the available recent opportunities suggest the code may be applied inconsistently or the category itself sees limited state and local market activity.
