This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left shoulder joint, external 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 0RWKXKZ

UNSPSC 85711833 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left shoulder joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope of orthopedic surgical procedures. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for public safety disability determinations, Centers of Excellence surgical benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic implants, tissue substitutes, or shoulder joint surgical revision. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual buying activity suggests either a data-classification error in the state and local system or a category that state and local procurement offices use inconsistently for non-surgical health services contracting.

Opportunities posted under this code originate from city retirement offices, municipal health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice systems, county human resources divisions, and regional health authorities across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) is requesting a surgical care carve-out program for Centers of Excellence networks; and the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) posted a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal locations. Given the consistent mismatch between the code definition and the work being solicited, this code warrants verification with state and local procurement offices before pursuit.
