UNSPSC 85712273: Excision of left shoulder joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0RBK0ZZ

UNSPSC 85712273 Excision of left shoulder joint, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement systems but does not align with the scope of recently posted contract opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect healthcare management, pharmacy services, and medical administration rather than surgical intervention or procedure-specific care. The Muscogee County Prison medical services RFP, the Collier County pharmacy benefit management procurement, Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services solicitation, San Mateo County's peer support pilot project, and the Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director engagement all represent healthcare delivery, benefits administration, and workforce support—none of which involve orthopedic excision procedures. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing authorities or that the code has been repurposed in state and local taxonomy to capture broader healthcare contracting activity.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, Monroe County), county health departments (San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica), with no school districts, transit authorities, or state departments appearing in the recent opportunity set. Geographic activity centers in Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), and California (San Mateo County), with one municipal opportunity in California. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual spending (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services RFP for approximately 2,300 county members effective October 1, 2026 (due April 16, 2026). The code shows limited recent activity that maps to its surgical procedure definition, and business development interest should focus on whether this category will correct toward orthopedic surgical services procurement or remain populated by misaligned healthcare administration opportunities.
