This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into 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 0RHK34Z

UNSPSC 85712482 Insertion of internal fixation device into left shoulder joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal medical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out networks, and emergency youth detention medical services—none of which involve orthopedic surgical devices or percutaneous shoulder procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data-quality issue in how opportunities were tagged to the code or that state and local procurement systems are using this code in ways disconnected from its intended scope. State and local agencies issuing under this code include city retirement offices, county health systems and probation departments, county commissioners' procurement divisions, and state transportation departments.

Geographic activity is scattered across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the City of Long Beach RFP for a surgical carve-out benefit program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of opportunities actually seeking orthopedic implants, prosthetics, or surgical devices—the core products this Commodity code nominally represents—business development professionals should verify code applicability before allocating pursuit resources to state and local opportunities tagged to this code.
