UNSPSC 85712069: Resection of left shoulder joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of 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 0RTK0ZZ

UNSPSC 85712069 Resection of left shoulder joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for arthroscopic or open shoulder joint resection, but the five most recent opportunities posted under this code—covering inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management services for a county health care consortium, virtual primary and urgent care services for county employees, peer support services for mental health peer workers, and medical direction for a fire department EMS program—bear no relation to orthopedic surgery or shoulder procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the opportunities actually tagged to it suggests either systematic miscoding at the issuing agencies or a data error in the source material.

No actionable procurement activity exists under this code for orthopedic surgical services. State and local buying entities—counties, cities, school districts, and special-purpose health authorities in Florida, Georgia, and California—are not soliciting shoulder joint resection services through this UNSPSC designation. Firms pursuing state and local contracts for orthopedic surgical procedures or related clinical services should verify the correct UNSPSC coding through the issuing jurisdiction's procurement office before investing in bid preparation.
