This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of drainage device in right 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 0RWJ00Z

UNSPSC 85712046 Revision of drainage device in right shoulder joint, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope does not align with recent state and local procurement activity under this designation. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and emergency inpatient hospital care — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or drainage device revision. The mismatch suggests either a systematic coding error in the posting system or misclassification by issuing bodies rather than genuine procurement activity in the orthopedic surgical device domain.

Recent opportunities show activity across state agencies, county health systems, and municipal governments. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) posted an occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an independent medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted a surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services due September 25, 2026; Santa Clara County Health System posted a temporary health professional staffing RFQ due October 7, 2026; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted a pharmacy benefit management RFP due April 9, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The code appears to carry minimal relevance for firms pursuing work in orthopedic devices or surgical services; vendors should verify correct UNSPSC classification before bidding.
