UNSPSC 85693957: Destruction of left humeral head, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0P5D3ZZ

UNSPSC 85693957 Destruction of left humeral head, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with what state and local buyers are soliciting. The recent opportunities tagged under this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations span healthcare administration, occupational health, employee benefits, and clinical staffing—none of which constitutes procurement of a left humerus destruction procedure or any standardized surgical service line.

State and local healthcare purchasers appear to be using this code as a catch-all for health services procurement broadly rather than as a marker for a discrete procedural service. The issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System—are state departments, counties, and county health systems acquiring benefit design, staffing, and administrative healthcare services across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated commodity definition and should not be pursued as a market for orthopedic surgical procedure procurement or related medical devices.
