UNSPSC 85711841: Revision of synthetic substitute in right shoulder joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in right 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 0RWJXJZ

UNSPSC 85711841 Revision of synthetic substitute in right shoulder joint, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The UNSPSC taxonomy appears designed to classify a specific orthopedic surgical procedure (shoulder joint prosthesis revision via external approach), yet the recent solicitations tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve shoulder joint implant procedures or revision surgery procurement. This mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the underlying procurement systems or that this code does not reflect active state and local buying patterns in its true scope.

The source contains no recent state and local contract opportunities that actually solicit shoulder joint prosthetic implants, revision surgical procedures, or related medical devices or services aligned with the code's nominal definition. Without evidence of genuine demand for the procedure category this code represents, pursue alternative UNSPSC codes and commodity families with clearer alignment to current state and local health care and medical device procurement activity.
