This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left humeral head, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0PPD4KZ

UNSPSC 85694241 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left humeral head, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally names a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged to it do not describe orthopedic implant removal work. Instead, soliciting bodies are buying occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the removal of tissue substitutes or percutaneous surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being purchased suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for state and local governments.

The recent opportunities are spread across four states: Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach, RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026; Santa Clara Health System, RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing with response due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI for specialty and emergency medical services due September 25, 2026). Issuing bodies include municipal health benefits administrators, county human resources and procurement offices, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice departments, and regional health systems. Given the absence of procurement activity actually aligned with the code's stated surgical scope, the Commodity code should be treated as inactive for business development purposes pending clarification of its intended use or consistent recoding.
