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 0RGK0ZZ

UNSPSC 85712253 Fusion of left shoulder joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect state and local government procurement activity supported by the source material. The six recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026 involve independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with surgical fusion procedures or orthopedic surgery delivery. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification (CPT/medical taxonomy) that has been incorrectly mapped to state and local procurement activity in the source system.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments, counties, cities, and regional health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but their purchases concern healthcare administration, benefits management, medical staffing pools, and occupational health compliance rather than surgical services or joint fusion procedures. No recent opportunity in the source material actually solicits surgical fusion procedures, surgical team staffing, implant procurement, or facility-based orthopedic surgery services that would logically fall under this code's nominal scope. The code should be treated as inactive for state and local procurement purposes or verified for remapping to the correct UNSPSC taxonomy.
