UNSPSC 85712223: Insertion of spacer into left shoulder joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0RHK08Z

UNSPSC 85712223 Insertion of spacer into left shoulder joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical care center-of-excellence networks — none of which involve insertion of shoulder spacers or orthopedic device implantation. The mismatch suggests either classification error in the source data or that issuing bodies are using the code as a catch-all for healthcare services procurement broadly rather than the discrete procedural intervention the code name describes.

The recent opportunities posted under this code originate from Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida jurisdictions, including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical care center-of-excellence carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (hospital and specialty services RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management RFP due April 9, 2026 — past due), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing qualifications, proposals due October 7, 2026). No pattern of repeat buyers or concentration among issuing body types emerges from the block. The code shows no meaningful recent activity tracking the procedure named in its title.
