This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left shoulder joint, open 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 0RWK04Z

UNSPSC 85712037, Revision of internal fixation device in left shoulder joint, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not match the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this taxonomy entry. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic implants or shoulder surgery procedures. The mismatch appears systematic: the code's nominal scope (surgical revision of a shoulder joint fixation device) bears no relationship to the medical administration, benefits management, staffing, and occupational health services that procurement offices have posted under this code number in the past two months.

The recent opportunities show activity across multiple jurisdiction types — a city retirement board (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington), a county probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county health system (Santa Clara), and a county procurement office (Collier County, Florida) — but none of this activity reflects actual procurement of the medical device or surgical procedure the code nominates. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026) are the most developed recent postings, yet both concern administrative and occupational health services rather than orthopedic implants or surgery. This code shows little relevant recent procurement activity and should not be pursued based on the current taxonomy assignment.
