UNSPSC 85712121: Replacement of right shoulder joint with synthetic substitute, glenoid surface, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right 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 0RRJ0J7

UNSPSC 85712121 Replacement of right shoulder joint with synthetic substitute, glenoid surface, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—replacement of the right shoulder joint with a synthetic glenoid surface via open surgical approach. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability benefits, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical roles, surgical procedure carve-out networks through centers of excellence, and emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities involve procuring or performing the orthopedic joint replacement procedure the code describes. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and boards (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and city retirement offices and municipal employers (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach).

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026) with performance across 14 Washington ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026), which does not guarantee work volume. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this code sees minimal relevant procurement activity in the state and local market.
