UNSPSC 85712447 Removal of synthetic substitute from right shoulder joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's medical procedure description does not match the actual work being solicited under it in the open market.

Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, youth detention medical services, and pension disability medical evaluations—none of which involve orthopedic joint procedures or percutaneous surgical approaches. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought disability medical record summary and independent medical examination services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology services (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management administration (RFP 258414, due April 9, 2026); Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and orthopedic services (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for hospital-based emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county health systems and human resources offices, city pension and retirement boards, and county juvenile justice authorities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. This code carries little relevant recent activity and appears to be a miscoding issue rather than a productive procurement category for vendors in orthopedic or surgical services.
