This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device 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 0RPJ04Z

UNSPSC 85712174, Removal of internal fixation device from right shoulder joint, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical-procedure scope. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code are actually purchasing occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or implant removal. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact rather than an active procurement category for state and local bodies.

The issuing bodies in the source include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), two county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), two city agencies (Phoenix Retirement Office, Long Beach), and one regional health authority (Santa Clara County Health System). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026); and the Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026) managing $8.7 million in annual spending. None of these solicitations involve the surgical implant removal or orthopedic procedures the code nominally describes, signaling that this code carries little decision relevance for vendors pursuing state and local orthopedic or surgical services.
