UNSPSC 85712405: Repair left shoulder joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left shoulder joint, 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 0RQK3ZZ

UNSPSC 85712405 Repair left shoulder joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not involve orthopedic repair or percutaneous surgical services. Instead, the four opportunities posted between February and April 2026 span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which align with the code's stated scope of shoulder joint repair.

The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a systemic misalignment between this Commodity code and state and local health service procurement. No clear pattern of shoulder repair or orthopedic surgical procurement emerges from the recent opportunity set. Unless issuing bodies are systematically using this code for general healthcare contracting despite its specific procedural label, this code does not represent an actionable procurement category for firms focused on surgical services or orthopedic repair delivery.
