This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from 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 0RPK0JZ

UNSPSC 85712164 Removal of synthetic substitute from left shoulder joint, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a surgical procedure classification incompatible with the state and local procurement opportunities actually being solicited under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic implant removal or shoulder surgery but instead reflect medical evaluation, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, emergency healthcare for youth in custody, surgical benefit carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the mismatch suggests either a data classification error or a jurisdictional tagging anomaly in the underlying procurement databases rather than active market demand for shoulder joint implant removal services at the state and local level.

The six opportunities tagged to this code between July and September 2026 span the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations), the Washington State Department of Transportation's Ferries division (occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington locations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit networks and Centers of Excellence), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency services for detained youth), Collier County Board of Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management covering 4,800 members), and Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing). The geographic spread includes Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida. This code should not be relied upon as an indicator of procurement activity in orthopedic surgery or implant removal at any jurisdiction level.
