UNSPSC 85712378: Reposition left shoulder joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left shoulder joint with internal fixation device, 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 0RSK34Z

UNSPSC 85712378 Reposition left shoulder joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure code—and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out benefits, emergency and specialty medical services for detainees, and temporary clinical staffing, none of which represent the surgical procedure the code purports to name. State and local procurement offices appear to be tagging administrative health-benefit and staffing solicitations with this surgical procedure code rather than applying more appropriate health services or staffing taxonomy codes, suggesting a classification mismatch in the source data rather than genuine demand for the specific shoulder joint fixation procedure.

The issuing bodies across recent activity include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county retirement boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office on behalf of pension boards), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), county government (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and municipal governments (City of Long Beach). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, covering disability medical record summaries and physician examination coordination for approximately 75 annual applications; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence due October 7, 2026, covering knee, hip, shoulder, spine, and other specialty procedures for approximately 3,800 employees and retirees; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, requiring occupational-medicine-board-certified physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 Washington ferry system locations. The source does not support treating this code as a reliable indicator of procurement activity in any particular market segment; the classification appears to be an error rather than evidence of actual buying patterns.
