This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left shoulder joint with synthetic substitute, glenoid surface, 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 0RRK0J7

UNSPSC 85712115 Replacement of left shoulder joint with synthetic substitute, glenoid surface, open approach is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code bear little substantive relationship to its nominal scope—orthopedic joint-replacement hardware. Instead, the opportunities solicited span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit program carve-outs, and emergency/inpatient services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the work actually being procured indicates that this code shows little relevant recent activity for procurement professionals pursuing medical device or orthopedic implant supply contracts.

The six recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). None of these solicitations target orthopedic joint implants, replacement hardware, or surgical supply contracting—the category to which code 85712115 refers. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but serves as background context only, as the procurement activity itself does not align with the code's stated commodity scope. State and local procurement professionals evaluating opportunities under this code should verify the tagging against actual scope documents, as the current activity appears to reflect miscoding rather than genuine demand for shoulder-joint replacement products or services.
