UNSPSC 85712129: Repair left shoulder joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 0RQK0ZZ

UNSPSC 85712129 Repair left shoulder joint, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally denotes orthopedic surgical procedures; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with that scope. Instead, the posted solicitations focus on occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which directly concern shoulder joint repair. The code's recent activity appears misaligned with its titular scope, and no opportunities in the source block explicitly solicit orthopedic surgical repair services.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span state health and transportation departments, county human resources and probation divisions, and large municipal retirement systems. The Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance across ferry system locations), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record evaluation for public safety pension applicants), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention healthcare), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing) represent the active issuers. Recent opportunities cluster in California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office RFP 26001 (independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Ferries RFP 20260825 (occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System RFSQHHSFY270052 (temporary health professional staffing pool, due October 7, 2026). The code's recent activity does not reflect a coherent procurement category aligned with its UNSPSC nomenclature and warrants clarification before pursuit.
