This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from 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 0RPK3KZ

UNSPSC 85712439, Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left shoulder joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal medical procedural scope does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. Among the six recent solicitations tagged to this code, none procure the specific surgical procedure named — instead, the opportunities request disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit program administration, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical disciplines. The solicitations do reference orthopedic and shoulder procedures as part of broader service bundles, but not the removal of nonautologous tissue substitute as a standalone commodity. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits administrators (City of Long Beach, Collier County), a state transportation authority (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), a county juvenile justice system (Harris County), and county health systems (County of Santa Clara). The geographic spread encompasses Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington.

The most concrete recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance covering baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry system locations. A third example is the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) establishing a surgical carve-out benefit program that includes shoulder, spine, and orthopedic procedures through Centers of Excellence on a voluntary basis for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees, with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027. The code as currently indexed does not reflect demand for the specific procedure it nominally describes and represents a potential classification mismatch in the state and local procurement database.
