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 0RNJ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85712182 Release right shoulder joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged with this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic surgery or the procedure named in the code. This mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding in the procurement system or use of the code as a catch-all for healthcare services broadly, and signals that relying on this code alone will not surface relevant healthcare procurement opportunities.

The recent opportunities do reflect substantial healthcare procurement activity across multiple state and local jurisdictions. The Muscogee County Prison (Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia) issued an RFP in April 2026 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services with a current monthly cost of $95,537.71 and a two-year initial term with three optional renewal periods. Collier County (Florida) issued an RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million and a three-year initial term with two optional one-year renewals. Monroe County (Florida) issued an RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services covering approximately 2,300 county members with an October 1, 2026 effective date. San Mateo County (California) issued an RFP for a Mental Health Services Act peer support pilot project totaling $580,000 over three years. Santa Monica Fire Department (California) issued an RFP for a Fire Department Medical Director with a three-year initial term. Procurement activity appears concentrated in Florida and California with isolated activity in Georgia and sourcing across multiple issuing-body types — county governments, city consolidated governments, and special-purpose fire departments. Given the fundamental code-to-scope disconnect, practitioners should verify coding before committing resources to this UNSPSC category.
