UNSPSC 85712380: Reposition right shoulder joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right 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 0RSJ34Z

UNSPSC 85712380 Reposition right shoulder joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with orthopedic surgical services. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a much broader scope of medical and health services procurement — occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical specialty networks — none of which involve performing or procuring the shoulder joint repositioning procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch indicates the code is being applied inconsistently or incorrectly by state and local issuing bodies, and the actual purchasing activity under UNSPSC 85712380 as currently tagged does not reflect orthopedic surgical intervention.

The most recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), municipal procurement (Long Beach), and a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability medical record review and physician examination coordination; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure centers of excellence and bundled payment management (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's clinical description and the administrative and managed-care services actually being purchased, pursuit under this code should focus on the specific work being solicited rather than the orthopedic procedure the code nominally represents.
