This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left shoulder joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 0RUK37Z

UNSPSC 85712361 Supplement left shoulder joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — yet recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code bears no meaningful relationship to joint-replacement surgery. Instead, the opportunities solicited under this code involve independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical networks for government employees, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve surgical joint replacement or autologous tissue grafting. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this UNSPSC number is being applied to health services categories where it does not belong. For vendors pursuing opportunities actually tagged under this code, the recent activity does not reflect the nominal commodity scope.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), with activity also present in Florida (Collier County). The representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance solicitation (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Because the opportunities do not align with the stated commodity definition, this code shows little actionable activity for vendors focused on orthopedic surgical procedures or implants.
