UNSPSC 85693958: Destruction of right humeral head, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0P5C3ZZ

UNSPSC 85693958 Destruction of right humeral head, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the medical and health services state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification. The recent contract opportunities tagged to this code span independent disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve orthopedic surgery or destruction of bone. The code assignment appears to be a classification error in state and local procurement systems rather than a live procurement category; the narrowly specific surgical procedure named in the code does not match the scope of any of the opportunities posted in the recent record.

The sourced opportunities originate from city retirement boards (Phoenix), county human resources departments (Long Beach, Collier County, Santa Clara), state transportation agencies (Washington Department of Transportation), and county detention authorities (Harris County), spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No recent opportunities have been solicited specifically for the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Buyers pursuing health services contracts in state and local procurement are unlikely to encounter this code in active use; the mismatch between the code's narrow clinical scope and the broad health administration work being procured suggests the code either sees minimal legitimate activity or is misapplied by issuing bodies in their tagging systems.
