UNSPSC 85712267 Extirpation of matter from left shoulder joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code—independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—span health plan administration, occupational medicine, and clinical workforce services. None address orthopedic joint procedures or surgical extraction of foreign matter or damaged tissue. The code appears to be a medical procedure taxonomy item (likely oriented toward hospital billing or clinical outcome classification) that has been misapplied to administrative and occupational health service solicitations in state and local procurement systems.

The issuing bodies sourcing these services include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health plan administrators (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation authorities (Harris County), county procurement offices managing employee health benefits (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). No standout repeat buyers emerge from the recent record. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration in any single jurisdiction. Because the code's nominal scope (orthopedic surgical procedure) does not align with the actual work being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity and should not be pursued on the basis of these opportunities.
