UNSPSC 85712483: Insertion of infusion device into left shoulder joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion 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 0RHK33Z

UNSPSC 85712483 Insertion of infusion device into left shoulder joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity captured under this code. The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026—including independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—span healthcare administration, occupational health compliance, benefit plan management, and clinical staffing, but none involve orthopedic surgical procedures or medical devices. The code's nominal scope describes a specific clinical intervention, yet the opportunities actually solicited are health plan administration, provider network management, and occupational or disability medical services. This mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied in the source data or sees minimal procurement activity aligned with its clinical definition.

The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county boards (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), a state department of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), and a city benefits office (City of Long Beach). Geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026) for Centers of Excellence networks covering knee, hip, shoulder, spine, and orthopedic procedures. The apparent disconnect between the code's clinical definition and the purchasing activity captured suggests this code warrants verification before pursuit.
