This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left shoulder joint with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0RRK07Z

UNSPSC 85712117 Replacement of left shoulder joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedures, but recent state and local contract opportunities show little direct alignment with this specific procedural code. Instead, state and local buyers are soliciting medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, and healthcare administration services that touch orthopedic care only tangentially within broader clinical programs. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeks independent medical evaluation services to assess disability benefit applications for public safety personnel, including medical record summarization and scheduling of comprehensive examinations; the City of Long Beach is seeking surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs offering pre- and post-care for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence; the Washington State Department of Transportation seeks occupational medical surveillance services across multiple employee categories; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for youth in detention. These opportunities span state departments, county health systems, city retirement offices, and local purchasing consortiums rather than orthopedic surgery providers or surgical facilities directly.

Geographic activity concentrates in Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Washington (statewide ferries), and Texas (Harris County), with additional procurement in Florida (Collier County) for pharmacy benefit management services. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP 26001, due October 16, 2026, for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum five-year contract value; the City of Long Beach HR26753 RFP, due October 7, 2026, for surgical benefit carve-out programs targeting April 1, 2027 implementation; and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026, for occupational medical surveillance with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026. The code itself exhibits a mismatch between its specific orthopedic surgical procedure title and the administrative, occupational health, and benefit management work state and local agencies are actually purchasing under this classification.
