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 0RSJXZZ

UNSPSC 85711861 Reposition right shoulder joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure name and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged to the code instead reflect general occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic shoulder surgery or its surgical repositioning. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact rather than an active procurement category for specific shoulder procedures.

Recent state and local opportunities under this code span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issued by city retirement offices, county health systems, county procurement divisions, and state transportation departments. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 seeking independent medical evaluation services including disability medical record summary and examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual public safety pension disability applications, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services covering baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations across 14 ferry system locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 seeking a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories excluding nursing and physician roles, with proposals due October 7, 2026. None of these opportunities involve orthopedic shoulder repositioning surgery, suggesting the code's tagging is erroneous and that prospective bidders should verify actual scope with issuing bodies rather than rely on the code's nominal classification.
