UNSPSC 85712335, Revision of spacer in left shoulder joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with the recent state and local procurement opportunities in the source. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for retirement disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve revision of a shoulder joint spacer or any percutaneous orthopedic procedure. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the point of solicitation posting or a data classification error; the code does not reflect current state and local buying activity in any decision-relevant way.

No state and local government procurement under this code involves the orthopedic implant or surgical procedure the Commodity name describes. Agencies reviewing this code for business development purposes should treat it as dormant or misclassified and direct pursuit efforts elsewhere.
