UNSPSC 85712173: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right shoulder joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from right 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 0RPJ07Z

UNSPSC 85712173, Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right shoulder joint, open approach, a Commodity code, shows a severe mismatch between its clinical procedure code and the state and local procurement activity appearing under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve surgical removal of autologous tissue from shoulder joints; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency healthcare services for detained youth. This code appears to be tagged incorrectly in state and local procurement systems, and the tag does not reflect a genuine market for the procedure itself within state and local government contracting.

The geographic and issuing-body spread in the tagged opportunities spans California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), across cities, counties, state departments, and county health systems. The representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability pension determinations; Washington State Ferries' solicitation for occupational medical surveillance across 14 locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Because the code itself does not track genuine procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope, this category carries no actionable pursuit signal for firms selling autologous tissue removal procedures or related orthopedic services to state and local governments.
